Ingredients
- 1 (8 ounce) container plain yogurt (Preferably Greek yogurt or Fage)
- * 1 cucumber
- * 1 tablespoon olive oil
- * 1/4 lemon, juiced and zest
- * 1-1/2 teaspoons chopped fresh dill
- * 1-1/2 cloves garlic, peeled
- * 5 mint leaves, chopped fine
- * salt and pepper to taste
Preparation
Step 1
* The night before making Tzatziki, place the yogurt in a paper towel lined strainer over another bowl and leave it in the fridge overnight. This thicker yogurt-cheese is the perfect consistency for Tzatziki. This step is not necessary if using Greek yogurt.
* Peel and seed the cucumber. Place the cucumbers in a strainer over a bowl and cover with salt. This will leech out a lot of the water and help assure you have a thick sauce.
