Main Ingredients

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Cucumber

    Wash the cucumber thoroughly under cold water. Grate the cucumber using a box grater or food processor, then place the grated cucumber in a clean kitchen towel or cheesecloth. Squeeze out excess moisture to avoid a watery dip.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Garlic

    Peel the garlic cloves and finely mince them using a knife or a garlic press. Set aside.

  3. 3

    Mix the Ingredients

    In a medium mixing bowl, combine the Greek yogurt, drained cucumber, minced garlic, olive oil, lemon juice, and chopped dill. Mix well until all ingredients are evenly distributed.

  4. 4

    Season the Dip

    Add salt and black pepper to the mixture. Stir well to combine. Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary.

  5. 5

    Chill the Tzatziki

    Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or a lid and refrigerate the tzatziki for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
