Ingredients

• 500 grams Low-fat plain Greek yogurt
• 1 medium Cucumber
• 2 units Garlic cloves
• 2 tablespoons Fresh dill
• 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
• 1 teaspoon Olive oil
• 0.5 teaspoons Salt
• 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Wash the cucumber thoroughly and grate it using the large holes of a box grater. Place the grated cucumber in a clean kitchen towel and squeeze out as much excess water as possible to ensure the tzatziki doesn’t become watery.

Step 2

Peel the garlic cloves and finely mince or grate them using a microplane to ensure no large garlic chunks remain.

Step 3

In a medium mixing bowl, combine the low-fat plain Greek yogurt, grated cucumber, minced garlic, and lemon juice.

Step 4

Finely chop the fresh dill and stir it into the yogurt mixture.

Step 5

Add the olive oil, salt, and black pepper, and mix thoroughly until all ingredients are evenly combined.

Step 6

Taste and adjust the seasoning if necessary by adding more salt, pepper, or lemon juice to suit your preference.

Step 7

Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and let the tzatziki chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.

Step 8

Transfer to a serving bowl and serve cold with pita bread, vegetable sticks, or as a condiment for grilled meats or falafel.
