TIPS

Here are some tips to help you prepare these cool cucumber slices with tzatziki.

  • Extra Crunch: Chill the cucumber in the fridge before slicing for a refreshing, crisp texture.
  • Homemade Tzatziki: Mix Greek yoghurt, grated cucumber, garlic, lemon juice, olive oil and fresh dill for a fresh dip.
  • Dipping Alternative: Instead of dipping, spread tzatziki on the cucumber slices and top with fresh herbs.
  • Add Protein: Pair with grilled chicken or chickpeas for a more filling snack.
  • Spicy Twist: Add a pinch of chilli flakes to the tzatziki for a little heat.

VARIATIONS

  • Vegan Option: Use a dairy-free yoghurt alternative for a plant-based dip.
  • Middle Eastern Style: Swap tzatziki for hummus or baba ganoush.
  • Cheesy Addition: Sprinkle crumbled feta over the cucumber slices.
  • Cucumber Salad: Toss sliced cucumber with tzatziki, cherry tomatoes and olives for a quick salad.
  • Protein Boost: Add a boiled egg or some grilled halloumi on the side.

PREPPING AND STORAGE

  • Short-Term Storage: Store sliced cucumber in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days.
  • Tzatziki Storage: Keep tzatziki refrigerated in a sealed container for up to 4 days.
  • Meal Prep: Pre-slice cucumbers and store them separately from the dip to maintain freshness.
