This is not tzatziki. We know it looks like tzatziki. And before you ask, “How many cucumber-yogurt sauces does one really need, anyway?” Let us explain the difference…
Ingredients
3/4 cup of peeled, grated cucumber (about half of a long, English cucumber, 1 medium sized Kirby, or a small regular cucumber)
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 cup plain yogurt (Greek-style or regular)
3 tablespoons sour cream
Squeeze of a lemon
Salt and pepper
Instructions
Place the grated cucumber in a mesh strainer set over a bowl. Sprinkle on the 1/2 teaspoon of salt, stir, and let the cucumber sit for about an hour, stirring and gently pressing once or twice to get out some of the moisture.
Combine the drained cucumber, yogurt, and sour cream in a bowl. Stir to combine. Squeeze a bit of lemon juice in and season with salt and pepper.
