Tzatziki Ingredients

Method

Preparation Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Cucumber

    Grate the cucumber using a box grater or a food processor. If the cucumber is particularly watery, you can place the grated cucumber in a clean cloth and squeeze out some of the excess moisture.

  2. 2

    Mix the Ingredients

    In a medium bowl, combine the grated cucumber, sour cream, minced garlic, dill, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper. Stir well to combine all ingredients together.

  3. 3

    Chill

    Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.

  4. 4

    Serve

    Stir the tzatziki again before serving. Serve it chilled as a dip with pita bread or as a sauce for grilled meats.
