Instructions
1
Wash the cucumber and peel it if desired (if the skin is thin and organic, you can leave it on). Grate it coarsely.
2
Lightly salt the grated cucumber and let it sit for 5–10 minutes. Then transfer it to a clean kitchen towel and squeeze firmly to remove as much liquid as possible. This prevents the tzatziki from becoming watery.
3
In a bowl, mix the Greek yogurt, crushed garlic, olive oil and lemon juice.
4
Add the squeezed cucumber and chopped herbs (dill and mint) to the yogurt mixture.
5
Mix everything well together and add more salt and pepper if needed.
6
For the best flavor, place the tzatziki in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before serving, to let the flavors of the garlic and herbs blend together.
7
Before serving, drizzle with a little more olive oil on top and garnish with a sprig of dill.
