– Prepare the Cucumber: Grate the cucumber and place it in a clean kitchen towel. Squeeze out excess moisture from the cucumber. This step ensures that your Tzatziki won’t be too watery.
– Mix the Ingredients: In a bowl, combine the grated cucumber, minced garlic, chopped dill, chopped mint, Greek yogurt, extra-virgin olive oil, and lemon juice. Mix well until all the ingredients are thoroughly incorporated.
– Season to Taste: Add salt and pepper to taste. Remember that Tzatziki should have a slightly tangy and garlicky kick, so adjust the seasonings according to your preference.
– Chill and Serve: Cover the bowl and refrigerate your Tzatziki sauce for at least an hour before serving. This allows the flavors to meld together and intensify.
