Ingredients
- 1 cup Greek yoghurt
- 1/4 cup cucumber grated & drained
- 1 clove garlic crushed
- 1 tablespoon fresh mint chopped
- 1 teaspoon dried dill
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon pepper
Instructions
- Grate the cucumber using a coarse grater. It will be watery, so lightly squeeze out the excess moisture using a clean kitchen towel or paper towel.
- In a medium bowl, add the Greek yogurt, cucumber, garlic, dill, mint, salt & pepper. Mix to combine.
- For the best flavour, refrigerate the tzatziki sauce for at least 30 minutes before serving. Enjoy your favourite dishes!
Notes
- Swap the herbs: While mint and dill are the traditional herbs in tzatziki, you can add parsley, cilantro, or basil for a different flavour.
- Add feta cheese: Try adding some crumbled feta cheese.
- Add some spice: Add a pinch of cayenne pepper or red pepper flakes to give your tzatziki a little heat.
- Add lemon: Add some lemon zest and juice for a fresh citrus for extra brightness.
