A refreshing and creamy Greek dip perfect for pairing with pita bread or fresh vegetables.
Grate the cucumber and place it in a colander.
Salting the cucumber lightly helps draw out excess moisture, enhancing the dip's texture.
Sprinkle a pinch of salt over the grated cucumber and let it sit for 10 minutes.
This step ensures the cucumber doesn't make the dip watery.
Squeeze the cucumber to remove excess water and transfer it to a mixing bowl.
Use a clean kitchen towel to wring out the cucumber for best results.
Mince the garlic and add it to the bowl.
Crushing the garlic before mincing releases more flavor.
Add the Greek yogurt, olive oil, dill, black pepper, and a pinch of salt to the bowl.
Mix gently to keep the dip light and fluffy.
Stir everything together until well combined.
Taste and adjust seasoning as needed.
Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 1 hour before serving.
Chilling allows the flavors to meld together beautifully.
Serve the Tzatziki dip chilled with your choice of accompaniments.
Garnish with a drizzle of olive oil and a sprig of dill for a professional touch.
