Instructions
 

  • Prepare the cucumber: Grate the cucumber and place in a colander. Sprinkle with salt and leave for 10 minutes to extract excess water. Then press the grated cucumber into a clean cloth to remove any remaining moisture.
  • Mix ingredients: In a bowl, combine the Greek yogurt, grated cucumber, crushed garlic, olive oil, vinegar (or lemon juice), dill or mint, salt and pepper. Mix well until smooth.
  • Let stand: To allow the flavors to marry, cover the bowl and let stand in the refrigerator for at least an hour before serving. This will make the tzatziki even tastier.
  • Serving: Before serving, stir the tzatziki and adjust the seasoning if necessary. Serve fresh, with pita bread, raw vegetables, or as a sauce for grilled meats or fish.
