Tzatziki

Ingredients

  • 1/2 cucumber, seeded

  • 1.5 cups plain Greek yogurt

  • 3 garlic cloves, minced

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil

  • 1 tablespoon champagne vinegar

  • 1/4 lemon

  • 1/2 teaspoon sea salt

  • 2 tablespoons fresh dill, minced

Directions

  • Seed the cucumber to remove insides and then finely chop the cucumber. Place chopped cucumber in a paper towel lined bowl. Sprinkle with salt. This will help release moister from the cucumber. Periodically, press a paper towel into the cucumber to soak up with moister.
  • Combine the yogurt, garlic, olive oil, vinegar, squeeze lemon, and salt in a bowl.
  • After the moister is released from the cucumber (about 15 minutes) add to the yogurt mixture along with fresh dill. Stir to combine.
  • Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, ideally overnight to allow flavors to blend. The garlic flavor in the tzatziki will become stronger as it sits.
  • Drizzle tzatziki with olive oil before serving.
