The one and only tzatziki
This classic tzatziki is made with thick Greek yogurt, fresh cucumber and plenty of garlic. Simple, honest and always a hit as a dip or side.
Ingredients
- 500 ml. thick Greek yogurt (I really like the Total one)
- 1 cucumber
- 6 garlic cloves
- pepper & salt
- good quality olive oil
- optionally a Kalamata olive and a little oregano for garnish
Instructions

1. Wash the cucumber and grate it using a coarse grater. Put the cucumber in a colander and squeeze it well. Repeat this about 3 times, until not much liquid comes out. Sprinkle the cucumber with sea salt and squeeze once more.2. Put the yogurt in a bowl and add the cucumber. Peel the garlic cloves and press them with a garlic press over the yogurt. Mix everything well and season generously with pepper and salt. Add a splash of olive oil and stir well. Taste to see if you like the flavor and add more pepper or salt if needed. Optionally garnish with a little oregano and a Kalamata olive. Enjoy!
