A refreshing and creamy Greek-inspired dip, perfect for pairing with fresh vegetables or pita bread.
Grate the cucumber into a bowl and sprinkle with half the salt.
Salting the cucumber helps draw out excess moisture, ensuring a creamy dip.
Let the cucumber sit for 10 minutes, then squeeze out the liquid using a strainer or your hands.
Removing the liquid prevents the dip from becoming watery.
In a mixing bowl, combine the yogurt, grated garlic, lemon juice, and the prepared cucumber.
Mix gently to maintain the creamy texture of the yogurt.
Season with the remaining salt and pepper, adjusting to taste.
Taste as you season to achieve the perfect balance of flavors.
Refrigerate the dip for at least 1 hour to allow the flavors to meld.
Chilling enhances the flavors, making the dip more delicious.
Serve the Tzatziki with fresh vegetables or pita bread.
Garnish with a drizzle of olive oil or a sprinkle of fresh herbs for added appeal.
