Tzatziki

Ingredients

• Plain Greek Yogurt (200 g)
• Cucumber (100 g)
• Olive oil (2 tsp)
• Lemon Juice (2 tsp)
• Garlic (1 clove)
• Dill (3 sprigs)

Instructions

1. Grate the cucumber using a cheese grater. If you prefer, you can peel it first.
2. Put the grated cucumber in a paper towel or cheese cloth, and squeeze out excess water over the sink. This is important so the finished product is creamy and not watery.
3. In a bowl, combine the yogurt, cucumber, olive oil, and lemon juice. Add some lemon zest too if you are using fresh lemons.
4. Press the garlic with a garlic press, or mince with a knife. You can add it to the bowl all at once, or bit by bit to taste since raw garlic will be very strong.
5. Add chopped dill, and salt and pepper to taste. Stir until well combined and serve.
