  3. Stir in the olive oil until well combined, then season to taste with salt and pepper.
  4. Mix all ingredients thoroughly, ensuring the flavors are evenly distributed.
  5. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.

Notes

For best results, prepare the Tzatziki Sauce a few hours in advance and refrigerate to allow the flavors to deepen. If you prefer a thicker sauce, you can strain the Greek yogurt overnight before using it. Adjust garlic and dill amounts to your preference.
