For a smoother consistency, strain the Greek yogurt through cheesecloth for 30 minutes to remove excess liquid.
Experiment with adding a grated cucumber, squeezed dry, for a more traditional Tzatziki texture.
If you don't have fresh dill, 1 teaspoon of dried dill can be substituted, but fresh is highly recommended.
Adjust the amount of garlic to your liking. Start with less and add more if desired.
This Tzatziki Sauce can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
