If you don't know about this dip, you are totally missing out. Tzatziki is a traditional Mediterranean dip that is composed of creamy yogurt, fresh cucumbers, and some salt and acid that bring it to the next level. I literally dip everything in this homemade sauce: veggies, potatoes, chicken, meat, fish... etc. I also love to use it as a salad dressing and spread for sandwiches!It's so simple, literally ten minutes. It goes great with nearly everything!
Using a box grater, grate half of the cucumbers on the medium setting and half on the smaller setting.
Sprinkle the grated cucumbers with 1/2 tsp salt, then squeeze and pour out the liquid.
Dump the shredded cucumbers on a paper towel, wrap them up, and squeeze to get more liquid out. Repeat this one more time.
Add the cucumbers to a bowl with the yogurt, vinegar, remaining 1/2 tsp salt, 1/2 tsp pepper, olive oil, minched garlic, and chopped dill. Mix and adjust the seasoning. Optionally, let the dip chill in the fridge for 20 minutes (or make it in advance). Enjoy!
