Tzatziki is a delicious Greek dip. Made with yogurt, cucumber, olive oil, garlic, lemon juice, herbs and salt. It makes a great dip or even a spread on sandwiches.
One of my new favourite things to make at the moment is Tzatziki. So easy to make and refreshing at this time of year. Goes great as a dip to veggies, pita bread or on Falafel. If you are looking for a fresh dip for springtime entertaining, Tzatziki could be your answer.
Traditionally, I know the yogurt is strained and I didn’t do this. For my personal taste, I found it just perfect without straining the yogurt. Getting the liquid out of the cucumbers is pretty important otherwise it will be watery and lack in flavour. When I posted the salad recipe last year a Greek friend of mine pointed out that the cucumber must be grated and strained. I since followed the instructions and have had better results. So, thanks!
A super easy and delicious dip!
