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)
Directions
Step 1
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.
Step 2
In a mixing bowl, add the plain Greek yogurt.
Step 3
Fold in the grated and drained cucumber, grated garlic, chopped dill, and mint (if using).
Step 4
Pour in the lemon juice and olive oil, and mix everything until fully combined.
Step 5
Season with freshly ground black pepper and no-salt seasoning blend to taste (optional for added flavor).
Step 6
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or a lid and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to allow the flavors to meld together.
Step 7
Serve as a dip with fresh veggies, pita bread, or as a topping for grilled meats, roasted vegetables, or grain bowls. Enjoy!
