Ingredients

The following ingredients have 1 Servings
  • 1 small-medium English Cucumber (grated (approx. 1 cup after grating))
  • ½ tsp Salt (adjust to taste)
  • ¾. - 1 cup Greek Yogurt
  • 1 Clove of Garlic (grated or minced)
  • 1 tbsp Extra Virgin Olive Oil
  • 2 - 3 tsp Lime Juice
  • ⅛ – ¼ tsp Black Pepper Powder
  • ½ - 1 tsp chopped Dill

Instruction

  • Wash and grate cucumber using a large grater blade or grate in a food processor.
  • Mix ¼ tsp of salt with cucumber, place in a strainer and let drain. If time permits, leave it in the fridge overnight. Else, 30 minutes to a hour is good enough. Squeeze out as much liquid from cucumber grate as possible and keep aside.
  • Take yogurt in a bowl, add grated cucumber, minced garlic, extra virgin olive oil, lime juice, pepper, remaining salt and mix well.
  • Just before serving, add dill and mix well. I used ½ tsp as I find dill flavor very strong. If one likes it, can add more to taste.
  • Serve tzatziki with grilled chicken, pita bread, pita chips, over gyros and also as a condiment with Greek food.
