Tzatziki Ingredients
Method
Tzatziki Preparation
- 1
Prepare the Cucumber
Wash the cucumber thoroughly and then grate it using a box grater or a food processor. Place the grated cucumber in a clean kitchen towel or cheesecloth and squeeze out excess moisture to prevent the tzatziki from becoming watery.
- 2
Mince the Garlic
Peel the garlic cloves and mince them finely using a knife or a garlic press.

Combine Ingredients

Serve
