A refreshing and creamy Greek-inspired dip perfect for pairing with veggies, pita, or grilled meats.
Peel the cucumber and grate it using a box grater.
Grating the cucumber ensures a finer texture for the dip.
Place the grated cucumber in a colander and sprinkle with salt. Let it sit for 10 minutes to draw out excess water.
Draining the cucumber prevents the dip from becoming watery.
Squeeze the cucumber to remove any remaining water and transfer it to a mixing bowl.
Use a clean kitchen towel to help squeeze out the water.
Add the yogurt, minced garlic, chopped dill, chopped mint, black pepper, and lemon juice to the bowl with the cucumber.
Mix gently to combine all ingredients evenly.
Stir the mixture until well combined and adjust seasoning if needed.
Taste the dip and add more salt or lemon juice if desired.
Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 1 hour before serving.
Chilling allows the flavors to meld together for a better taste.
Serve the tzatziki dip chilled with your choice of accompaniments.
Garnish with a sprig of dill or a drizzle of olive oil for presentation.
