Tzatziki greek yoghurt dip

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.

Ingredients:

2 cups greek yogurt
460g
2 cucumbers
800g
2 garlic cloves
6g
3 tbsp olive oil
40g
1 tbsp dill
16g

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Cucumbers:
- 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.
2. Prepare the Garlic:
- Peel the garlic cloves and mince them finely. Alternatively, you can use a garlic press for a finer texture.
3. Combine Ingredients:
- In a medium mixing bowl, combine the Greek yogurt, grated cucumber, and minced garlic.
4. Add Olive Oil and Dill:
- Drizzle the olive oil over the mixture and add the finely chopped dill. Stir everything together until well combined.
5. Season and Chill:
- 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.
6. Serve:
- 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.

Preparing Tzatziki Greek Yogurt Dip is simple and rewarding. With these pro tips, you can create a creamy, flavorful dip that will impress your family and friends. Whether serving it as an appetizer or a side dish, this homemade tzatziki is sure to become a favorite at your table.
