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
Tbsp
dill leaves
2
tablespoons
finely chopped fresh dill
INSTRUCTIONS
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.
