I love love love Greek food - I can't get enough of it! I love working with fresh ingredients and I try do so whenever I can. This recipe for Tzatizki dip is fast and easy and is full of fresh ingredients. Serve with fresh pita bread, veggies, or meat (chicken and lamb are great options.) I like to make a large batch to have for the week as it is great for lunches.
Ingredients
- 1 large lemon
- 3 garlic cloves (you can just use 1 clove but I love garlic!)
- 2 seeded and diced cucumbers
- 3 Tablespoons fresh dill ( you can use 1 Tbsp. but I love fresh dill!)
- Pinch of fresh pepper (or to taste)
- Pinch of sea salt (or to taste)
- 3 cups (750 ml) plain Greek yogourt
Preparation
- After seeding and dicing cucumbers, place in colander in the sink. Sprinkle on salt and let cucumbers release water and drain for at least 30 minutes.
- In food processor, add lemon juice, garlic cloves, seeded and diced cucumbers, fresh dill, grounded black pepper and sea salt. Process until well combined.
- Stir in plain Greek yogourt.
Note: I like to refrigerate dip for several hours to allow all the flavours to infuse.
