Categories     Side Dish

Time 13m

Number Of Ingredients 7

850 grams /1 lb + 14 oz full-fat and strained Greek yogurt
320 grams / 11.3 oz (2,5 cups) coarsely hand-grated English cucumber
2 teaspoons (about 15 grams) garlic cloves (minced)
3 tablespoons olive oil
1 teaspoon red wine vinegar
2/3 teaspoon salt
ground pepper

Steps:

  • Add the Greek yogurt to a large mixing bowl and work it with a hand whisk to become really smooth and creamy. Making sure there aren't any lumps in it.
  • Squeeze the grated cucumber with your hands to remove most of its water. Then add to the mixing bowl along with the Greek yogurt.
  • Add the remaining ingredients to the mixing bowl as well and mix very well.
  • Refrigerate for at least 3 hours before serving for the garlic to cool down a bit. Or even better overnight. If you like raw garlic you can serve this dip right away, along with some pita bread or rustic artisan bread!

AUTHENTIC GREEK TZATZIKI



Authentic Greek Tzatziki image

This is a lovely, cool, refreshing Greek tzatziki dip that I first tasted and fell in love with in the Greek Islands. It is lovely with hot toasted pita bread and veggies or lamb kebabs! The key is strain the liquid from the cucumber very well so the dip stays creamy and not watery and to always use thick, full-fat Greek yogurt. Low-fat versions won't cut it. Enjoy!
