Tzatziki Ingredients
Method
Tzatziki Directions
Prepare the Cucumber
Grate the cucumber and then place it in a clean kitchen towel. Squeeze out excess moisture to avoid watery tzatziki.
Mix Ingredients
In a medium bowl, combine the Greek yogurt, grated cucumber, minced garlic, olive oil, lemon juice, chopped dill, salt, and black pepper. Stir until well combined.
Chill
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and let the tzatziki chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
Prepare Pita
While the tzatziki is chilling, cut the pita bread into triangles and toast or warm them in the oven for about 5-7 minutes.
Serve
Serve the tzatziki in a bowl with the warm pita triangles on the side for dipping.
