AUTHENTIC GREEK TZATZIKI

I learned how to make this Tzatziki recipe while I was visiting Athens – everyone who tries it tells me that it’s the authentic recipe they were looking for!

While you’re at it, why not plan a fun little dinner party with a menu of Greek Mezes? I’d start with this Potato Skordalia, Classic Greek Salad, and Greek Feta and Red Pepper Dip.

If you have leftovers, make these adorable little Tzatziki Bites with Greek Salsa!

Ingredients

• 1/2 a large cucumber, unpeeled
• 1 1/2 cups plain full-fat Greek yogurt
• 2 large garlic cloves, finely minced
• 2 Tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
• 1 Tablespoon white vinegar
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1 Tablespoon minced fresh dill

Instructions

1. Grate the cucumber and drain through a fine mesh sieve overnight in the fridge.
2. Combine the yogurt, garlic, oil, vinegar, and salt in a large bowl. Cover and refrigerate overnight.
3. Transfer the grated cucumber and fresh dill to the yogurt mixture and stir to combine. Serve chilled with pita bread for dipping.
