Ingredients

  • 1-1/2 cups plain greek yogurt I use full-fat
  • 1 medium English or hothouse cucumber seeded, coarsely grated and squeezed as dry as possible (about 1 cup)
  • 4 garlic cloves minced
  • 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • Lemon juice from 1 lemon
  • ¾ teaspoon salt & 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • 3-4 Tablespoon dill leaves
  • 2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh dill

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Combine all ingredients in a medium bowl and mix until well combined. Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary. Cover and chill until ready to serve.

Notes

  • Make sure to remove as much water from the cucumber as you can for the thickest and creamiest sauce.
  • I like to chill the tzatziki for at least 30 minutes before serving to let the flavors develop, but it is ready to enjoy straight away.
