Ingredients

• 1 medium Cucumber
• 1.5 cups Sour cream
• 2 cloves Garlic cloves
• 2 tablespoons Fresh dill
• 1 tablespoon Fresh lemon juice
• 1 tablespoon Extra virgin olive oil
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Peel the cucumber, then grate it using the large holes on a box grater.

Step 2

Place the grated cucumber in a clean kitchen towel or cheesecloth and wring out as much water as possible. This helps prevent the tzatziki from becoming watery.

Step 3

In a medium mixing bowl, combine the grated, wrung-out cucumber and sour cream.

Step 4

Finely mince the garlic cloves or use a garlic press, then add them to the bowl.

Step 5

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

Step 6

Add the lemon juice, olive oil, salt, and black pepper to the bowl.

Step 7

Stir everything together until fully incorporated and smooth.

Step 8

Taste and adjust seasoning, adding more salt, pepper, or dill as desired.

Step 9

Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.

Step 10

Serve chilled as a dip with pita bread or vegetables, or as a sauce for grilled meats and gyros.
