Mike's Creamy Tatziki & Tips

I'm sorry, but I'm not a fan of Greek Yogurt. Or, regular for that matter. With that, I've chosen to make this dish consistently with 3/4 sour cream and a 1/4 Greek. I also employ fine minced chives. Obviously, it's no longer a true Tatziki - but it's certainly favorite in our home!
Mint, lemon zest, olives and added or even drizzled olive oil are other fantastic additions.
Serve on kebobs, felafels, over fish or any meat, baked potatoes, as a salad dressing, with fresh veggies, with chips or simply eat with pita or Tandoori like breads.

Steps
- 1
You definitely want for this sauce to be thick so, it's important to follow these important tips below. :-)
- 2
Place yogurt and / or sour cream in a strainer and allow the fluids to run out of both. Do this for about an hour or until it's reached a consistency you prefer.
- 3
Peel cucumbers and hollow out all of the seeds with a spoon. Discard them. Place cucumbers in a food processor and shred them. Or, hand shread. Take a 1/2 tablespoon of sea salt and pour it into the cucumbers. Mix well.
- 4
Wrap shredded cucumbers and sea salt inside of a cheesecloth and squeeze out all the fluids that you possibly can by hand. Repeat this step until there is no more fluid remaining. Do not rinse cucumbers but know you shouldn't add salt to this recipe.
- 5
Puree your garlic in a garlic plate.
- 6
Mix everything in the Tatziki Sauce section together and chill. Know that this sauce is exponentially better the following day or just with an hour chill time in the fridge.
