Authentic Greek Tzatziki Recipe: Fresh, Creamy Yogurt Dip

• Prep Time: 2 hours
• Cook Time: 0 minutes
• Difficulty: Easy

Ingredients

• 1 cucumber
• 1 clove garlic
• 1 bunch mint
• 1 bunch fresh dill or cilantro
• Juice of 1/2 lemon
• 4 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 Greek sheep's milk yogurts
• Salt and pepper, to taste

Instructions

Grate the cucumber and drain thoroughly by wringing it out in a clean kitchen towel. This removes excess moisture for a thicker dip.

In a bowl, combine the drained cucumber with crushed garlic, finely chopped mint and dill (or cilantro), lemon juice, yogurts, olive oil, salt, and pepper. Mix well until smooth.

Refrigerate for at least 2 hours to let flavors meld and serve chilled. Perfect as a meze with blinis, raw veggies like cauliflower and radishes, or warm pita.

With years perfecting Mediterranean recipes, this tzatziki delivers genuine Greek sunshine in every bite.
