Ingredients
- 1 cup (250 mL) plain Greek yogurt
- 1 tbsp (15 mL) fresh lemon juice
- 1 tbsp (15 mL) extra virgin olive oil
- 1 tbsp (15 mL) chopped fresh or freeze-dried dill
- 1 or 2 cloves of garlic, minced
- ¼ tsp (1 mL) salt
- ¾ cup (180 mL) grated cucumber (about half of a medium cucumber)
Preparation
- In a large mixing bowl, blend the Greek yogurt with the lemon juice, olive oil, dill, minced garlic, and salt. Stir to combine.
- Using a box grater, grate the cucumber.
- Place the grated cucumber in a paper towel or a clean hand towel and squeeze out the excess water over the sink.
- Add the pressed grated cucumber to the bowl, then stir until everything is evenly blended.
- Serve immediately, or place in the fridge until ready to serve.
- Scoop into a bowl, and serve with your favourite veggies or pita chips. Enjoy!
Note
It is very important to squeeze out the excess water from the cucumbers. If not, the tzatziki will have a watery consistency.
