Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Plain Greek yogurt (unsalted, full-fat or low-fat)
- 1 medium Cucumber (English or Persian, finely grated)
- 2 cloves Garlic (grated or finely minced)
- 1 tablespoon Fresh dill (chopped)
- 1 teaspoon Fresh mint (chopped, optional)
- 2 tablespoons Fresh lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil (extra virgin)
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper (freshly ground)
- 0.25 teaspoon No-salt seasoning blend (optional)
Instructions
Peel the cucumber and finely grate it using a box grater or food processor. Once grated, place the cucumber in a clean kitchen towel or cheesecloth and squeeze out as much liquid as possible. This prevents the Tsatsiki from becoming watery.
In a mixing bowl, add the plain Greek yogurt.
Fold in the grated and drained cucumber, grated garlic, chopped dill, and mint (if using).
Pour in the lemon juice and olive oil, and mix everything until fully combined.
Season with freshly ground black pepper and no-salt seasoning blend to taste (optional for added flavor).
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or a lid and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to allow the flavors to meld together.
Serve as a dip with fresh veggies, pita bread, or as a topping for grilled meats, roasted vegetables, or grain bowls. Enjoy!
