Easy Peasy Tzatziki
Report
Quick, easy and packed full of flavour – you are going to love my Easy Peasy Tzatziki! This delicious Greek inspired dip is perfect for serving alongside crudités and warm strips of pitta, on top of burgers, inside a wrap or with kebabs…

Ingredients
- ⅓ cucumber (roughly 150g/5oz) grated and most of the moisture squeezed out
- 8 tablespoons Greek yogurt
- 1 garlic clove crushed or grated
- 2 tablespoons fresh mint chopped finely (plus extra for garnish)
- salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Start by grating the cucumber on the coarse side of your grater onto a rimmed board, plate or bowl and then squeeze the grated cucumber over the board (or plate/bowl) to get rid of as much of the moisture as you can.
- Put the squeezed cucumber in a new bowl and add the yogurt, garlic and chopped mint, plus salt and pepper to taste.
- Stir everything together and then cover the tzatziki (with clingfilm, foil or a plate) and put it into the fridge until you are ready to serve.
- When you are ready to serve, give the tzatziki a stir and garnish with more fresh mint
Notes
- The tzatziki is ready to serve as soon as you have made it, but if you have got the time it’s even nicer after a little while in the fridge to allow the flavours to mix and mingle and the flavour of the garlic to soften.
- When I am cooking, I tend to make the tzatziki first and pop it into the fridge while I cook the rest of my dish. Not only does this mean the tzatziki tastes nicer, but also it means I don’t have to juggle making a dip with cooking the rest of my meal.
- Not suitable for freezing.
