Tzatziki Sauce (keto) is Versatile
What You Need to Make Keto Tzatziki Sauce
- Mixing bowl – these stackable stainless bowls are a lifesaver in the kitchen!

- Grater – watch those fingers! This set includes all the graters I need in the kitchen
- Sharp knife – invest in some Henckels! They are workhorses and offer great quality for the value
- Cutting board – cut yourself some slack and get dishwasher safe cutting boards!
How to Make Creamy Tzatziki Sauce Keto
- Grate the cucumber, salt it and set it to drain in the strainer.
- Mince the garlic and chop the dill.
- Squeeze the cucumber of excess water, mix it all together and serve!
Chef Jenn’s Tips
- Don’t have fresh dill? Use dried! Use about 2 tsp of dried dill.
- Like your Tzatziki with a bit of onion? Chop a bit of shallot into the mixture.
- If you’re using non-fat or low-fat yogurt, add a tablespoon or two of olive oil to bring up the fat content
- Tzatziki will keep well in the fridge for about a week so put it on everything!
