- 2 cups Greek yogurt
- 2 cloves Garlic
- 2 tablespoons Fresh dill
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons Extra-virgin olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Ground black pepper
Directions
Step 1
Peel the cucumber, then cut it in half lengthwise. Using a spoon, scoop out the seeds.
Step 2
Grate the cucumber using a box grater and place the grated cucumber in a clean kitchen towel. Squeeze out as much excess water as possible to prevent the tzatziki from becoming watery.
Step 3
In a medium bowl, combine the Greek yogurt, grated cucumber, minced garlic, and chopped fresh dill.
Step 4
Add the lemon juice, olive oil, salt, and black pepper to the mixture, and stir everything well until thoroughly combined.
Step 5
Taste the tzatziki and adjust the seasoning if needed, adding more salt or lemon juice to suit your preference.
Step 6
Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
Step 7
Serve chilled as a dip with warm pita bread, as a sauce for grilled meats, or as a refreshing side salad.
