TZATZIKI

Tzatziki is a classic Greek dip made with thick Greek yoghurt, fresh cucumber, garlic,  a touch of olive oil and lemon juice. This creamy and refreshing condiment is a perfect companion for grilled meats, fresh vegetables or as a spread for pita bread. The combination of tangy yoghurt, fragrant garlic and cooling cucumber creates a delicious balance of flavours. Garnished with fresh dill, it’s a versatile dish that can be enjoyed as a dip, sauce, or side. Tzatziki is light, healthy and simple to prepare, making it a must for Mediterranean-inspired meals.

PREPARATION

  • Grate The Cucumber And Squeeze Out Excess Moisture: Grate the cucumber and then use a clean cloth or paper towel to squeeze the extra water to avoid watery tzatziki.
  • Mix The Base Ingredients: In a bowl, combine Greek yoghurt, minced garlic, lemon juice, and olive oil. Mix well to create a smooth, creamy base.
  • Incorporate Cucumber And Season: Stir in the grated cucumber and season with salt and pepper to taste. Adjust seasoning to balance the flavours.
  • Garnish With Fresh Dill: Sprinkle fresh dill on top before serving for a bright, herbal touch. The dill adds a refreshing flavour to the dip.
  • Serve Immediately Or Chill: Tzatziki can be served immediately or chilled in the fridge for 30 minutes to enhance the flavours. Enjoy as a dip or sauce.

PREP TIME

5 minutes

COOKING TIME

No cooking required

TIPS

  • Drain The Cucumber Well: Squeeze out as much water as possible from the cucumber to keep the tzatziki thick and creamy.
  • Make Ahead: Prepare tzatziki a few hours ahead to allow the flavours to meld together for an even more delicious dip.
  • Fresh Garlic: Adjust the garlic level to your taste; for a stronger flavour, use more garlic or let it sit longer.

VARIATIONS

  • Add Herbs: Include fresh mint or parsley for an additional herbaceous flavour.
  • Spicy Twist: Add a pinch of cayenne pepper or chopped fresh chilli for a spicy version.
  • Dairy-Free: Swap Greek yoghurt for dairy-free yoghurt to make it vegan-friendly.

PREPPING AND STORAGE

  • Fridge Storage: Store tzatziki in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
  • No Freezing: Tzatziki doesn’t freeze well due to the yoghurt and cucumber’s high water content.
