Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Cucumber

    Wash the cucumber thoroughly. Grate the cucumber using a box grater or food processor. Place the grated cucumber in a clean kitchen towel or cheesecloth and squeeze out excess moisture. This will prevent the tzatziki from becoming watery.

  2. 2

    Mince the Garlic

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

  3. 3

    Chop the Herbs

    Finely chop the fresh dill and parsley. Measure out the required quantities and set aside.

Mixing

  1. 4

    Combine Ingredients

    In a mixing bowl, add the Greek yogurt, grated cucumber, minced garlic, chopped dill, and chopped parsley. Mix well until all ingredients are evenly distributed.

  2. 5

    Season the Tzatziki

    Add salt, black pepper, olive oil, and lemon juice to the yogurt mixture. Stir until well combined and adjust seasoning to taste.

Chilling

  1. 6

    Refrigerate

    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.
