Tzatziki Greek Yogurt Dip is a refreshing and tangy dish that pairs wonderfully with a variety of meals. Made with creamy Greek yogurt, cucumbers, garlic, olive oil, and dill, it's the perfect complement to grilled meats, pita bread, or fresh veggies.
Instructions:
- Peel the cucumbers and cut them in half lengthwise. Use a spoon to scoop out the seeds.
- Grate the cucumbers using a box grater or a food processor. Place the grated cucumber in a clean kitchen towel or cheesecloth and squeeze out as much excess water as possible. This ensures the tzatziki stays thick and creamy.
- Peel the garlic cloves and mince them finely. Alternatively, you can use a garlic press for a finer texture.
- In a medium mixing bowl, combine the Greek yogurt, grated cucumber, and minced garlic.
- Drizzle the olive oil over the mixture and add the finely chopped dill. Stir everything together until well combined.
- Taste the tzatziki and add salt if needed. Mix well.
- Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate the dip for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
- Serve chilled with pita bread, fresh veggies, or as a condiment for grilled meats.
Tips:
- For a thicker dip, strain the Greek yogurt through a cheesecloth or a fine sieve for a few hours before using.
- After grating the cucumbers, be sure to squeeze out as much water as possible to prevent the dip from being too watery.
- Allow the tzatziki to chill in the refrigerator for at least an hour to let the flavors meld together.
- For extra flavor, consider adding a squeeze of fresh lemon juice or some chopped mint.
- Adjust the amount of garlic to your taste. If you prefer a milder garlic flavor, use one clove instead of two.
