Cool, garlicky, and impossibly creamy, tzatziki is the sauce that ties a Greek table together. The secret is squeezing every drop of water from the cucumber.
Ingredients
- 2 cups Greek yogurt (full-fat)
- 1 cucumber grated
- 3 cloves garlic minced
- 1 tbsp lemon juice
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 2 tbsp fresh dill chopped
- 1/2 tsp salt
Instructions
- Grate the cucumber and squeeze it hard in a clean towel to remove as much water as possible.
- In a bowl, combine the Greek yogurt, minced garlic, lemon juice, and olive oil.
- Fold in the drained cucumber and chopped dill.
- Season with salt and stir until smooth.
- Cover and chill for at least 30 minutes to let the flavors meld.
- Drizzle with a little olive oil before serving.
