Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Greek yogurt (full-fat, unsweetened)
- 1 medium Cucumber
- 2 medium Garlic cloves
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons Fresh dill
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
Wash the cucumber thoroughly and, using a box grater, grate it coarsely. Place the grated cucumber in a clean kitchen towel and squeeze out as much moisture as possible. This step is crucial to prevent the Tzatziki from becoming too watery.
Peel the garlic cloves and mince them finely.
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the Greek yogurt, grated cucumber, minced garlic, lemon juice, and olive oil.
Chop the fresh dill finely and add it to the yogurt mixture. Stir to fully incorporate all the ingredients.
Season the mixture with salt and black pepper. Taste and adjust the seasoning as needed.
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and chill the Tzatziki in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld.
Serve cold as a dip with vegetable sticks or as a sauce with grilled meats or dishes of your choice.
