Ingredients
- 500 grams Low-fat Greek yogurt (2% fat or less)
- 1 medium Cucumber
- 2 cloves Fresh garlic cloves
- 2 tablespoons Fresh dill
- 1 tablespoon Fresh lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon Extra virgin olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
Directions
Step 1
Start by preparing the cucumber: Peel the cucumber and grate it using a box grater. Once grated, place the cucumber in a fine mesh sieve or cheesecloth and press to remove excess water. You can also squeeze it by hand if you don’t have a sieve.
Step 2
Finely mince the garlic cloves or use a garlic press to ensure the pieces are very small and evenly distributed.
Step 3
Chop the fresh dill finely and set aside.
Step 4
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the low-fat Greek yogurt, grated cucumber, minced garlic, chopped dill, fresh lemon juice, and olive oil.
Step 5
Season the mixture with salt and black pepper, tasting and adjusting to your preference.
Step 6
Mix everything thoroughly until well combined.
Step 7
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or transfer the zaziki to an airtight container. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour to allow the flavors to meld together.
Step 8
Serve chilled as a dip with veggies, pita bread, or alongside grilled meats. Enjoy!
