Description
Tzatziki dip is a refreshing Greek yogurt cucumber dip flavored with garlic, lemon juice, fresh dill, and a splash of olive oil.
Ingredients
2 cups plain Greek yogurt
1 cup cucumber, grated and squeezed to remove excess water
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 tbsp lemon juice
2 tbsp olive oil
2 tbsp fresh dill, chopped
Salt, to taste
Black pepper, to taste
Instructions
1. Grate the cucumber and squeeze out as much liquid as possible using a paper towel or cheesecloth.
2. In a bowl, combine Greek yogurt, cucumber, garlic, lemon juice, and olive oil.
3. Stir in fresh dill, salt, and pepper.
4. Chill for at least 30 minutes before serving to let the flavors blend.
5. Serve with pita bread, fresh vegetables, or as a topping for gyros and grilled meats.
Notes
Squeezing the cucumber keeps the tzatziki from being watery.
Adjust garlic to your taste.
This dip tastes even better the next day.
