Authentic Tzatziki - Greek Garlic Yogurt Dip
This authentic Greek tzatziki is a creamy garlic yogurt dip enhanced with fresh cucumber and dill. The strained full-fat Greek yogurt provides a thick base, while grated and drained cucumber adds refreshing moisture without excess water. Crushed garlic and red wine vinegar give it a bright, tangy undertone. Olive oil rounds out the texture, making it ideal for spreading or dipping.
