Equipment

  • box grater

Ingredients
  

Yogurt Base

  • 1.5 cups plain Greek yogurt 0%, 2%, or 5%

Vegetables

  • ⅔ cup shredded cucumber grated on a box grater

Flavoring

  • 3 tablespoons fresh squeezed lemon juice (about 1 lemon)
  • 2 large cloves garlic minced
  • 2-3 tablespoons fresh dill chopped
  • ¾ teaspoon kosher salt
  • ½ teaspoon ground black pepper

Instructions
 

Preparation

  • Grate your cucumber (skin on is fine) on the medium or large holes of a box grater. Then gently squeeze excess water out in a cheesecloth over the sink. Alternatively, you can squeeze the moisture out with your hands and pat dry with a paper towel.
  • Add all the ingredients together in a mixing bowl. Mix gently until combined.
  • Taste the tzatziki and adjust the seasonings to your preference - add more salt, pepper, lemon juice, or dill.
  • Serve immediately with pita chips or store in the fridge for up to 4 days. Enjoy!

Notes

Leave the cucumber off if you want a smooth yogurt dill dip. Taste and adjust seasonings to your preference. Serve with crispy chicken, grilled chicken, everything bagel salmon, Greek meatballs, or Greek pasta salad. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days. Can freeze for up to 2 months if needed.
