Ingredients

Method

Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the cucumber

    Grate the cucumber using a box grater and place it in a clean kitchen towel or cheesecloth. Squeeze out excess moisture to prevent the tzatziki from becoming watery.

  2. 2

    Mix the ingredients

    In a mixing bowl, combine the Greek yogurt, grated cucumber, minced garlic, juice of the lemon, olive oil, and salt. If using, also add the chopped fresh dill or mint.

  3. 3

    Chill and serve

    Stir the mixture until well combined. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld. Serve chilled as a dip or sauce.
