Authentic Greek Tzatziki
We learned how to make this super-fresh and easy Tzatziki during a cooking class on the island of Naxos in the Greek Isles. Once you make this, I guarantee you will never eat store-bought again.
Ingredients
- ½ Cucumber
- 2 Garlic Cloves finely minced
- 3-4 tbsp Olive Oil
- 16 oz Greek Yogurt strained
- 1-2 tbsp Red Wine Vinegar
- 1 pinch Salt
- 1 pinch pepper optional
Instructions
- Peel and grate the cucumber into a large bowl. Season with a pinch of salt and let sit for 20 minutes.
- After 20 minutes, squeeze the grated cucumber in your hands to release any remaining liquid.
- In a medium-sized bowl, add the grated cucumber, minced garlic, olive oil, red wine vinegar, Greek yogurt, and another pinch of salt. You can also add black pepper, too, if desired.
- Mix until all of the ingredients are combined.
- Chill in the fridge and enjoy.
- If desired, add a sprig of dill and some sliced cucumbers for garnish.
