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
Directions
Step 1
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.
Step 2
Peel the garlic cloves and mince them finely.
Step 3
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the Greek yogurt, grated cucumber, minced garlic, lemon juice, and olive oil.
Step 4
Chop the fresh dill finely and add it to the yogurt mixture. Stir to fully incorporate all the ingredients.
Step 5
Season the mixture with salt and black pepper. Taste and adjust the seasoning as needed.
Step 6
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.
Step 7
Serve cold as a dip with vegetable sticks or as a sauce with grilled meats or dishes of your choice.
