Ingredients
  

  • 1 medium cucumber peeled and grated
  • 1 1/2 cups Greek yogurt use full-fat for creaminess
  • 2 tablespoons fresh dill roughly chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic minced for flavor
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil extra-virgin preferred
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice freshly squeezed
  • 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt to taste

Instructions
 

  • Start by grating the cucumber. Place it in a fine mesh sieve over a bowl and press gently to remove excess moisture.
  • In a large bowl, mix the drained cucumber with the Greek yogurt, fresh dill, minced garlic, olive oil, lemon juice, and kosher salt until everything is well blended.
  • Allow the Tzatziki to rest for a few minutes, letting the flavors mingle and enhance each other. You might want to taste it and adjust the seasoning.
  • Serve it immediately, or chill covered in the refrigerator for up to four days for a refreshing condiment.

Notes

This creamy Tzatziki adds a delightful touch to any Mediterranean dish. Don't hesitate to experiment by adding a pinch of cumin for a unique twist!
