Tzatziki, a creamy dip using thick Greek yogurt, cucumbers and dill is a staple on the table of any Greek household! 

Ingredients

• 16 oz 0% strained Greek yogurt
• 3/4 of large cucumber
• 2 tsp finely diced garlic
• 2 Tbsp finely diced fresh dill
• 1 tsp extra virgin olive oil
• 1 tsp fresh black pepper

Instructions

1. Grate cucumber on a medium size grater. Then place grated cucumber in a strainer and press out the excess liquid from the cucumber. If you do not do this, Tzatziki will become watery. Add the Greek Yogurt and cucumber to a large mixing bowl. Throw in diced garlic and dill. Mix well. Slowly stir in the olive oil and seasonings. Refrigerate for 30 minutes prior to serving.
