Refreshing Greek Yogurt with Cucumber and Garlic Dip. Authentic Recipe of Tzatziki.

Things to know about Tzatziki Recipe

This refreshing tzatziki dip is loved around the world for its simple yet bold combination of yogurt, cucumber, garlic, vinegar, and olive oil. Many international tzatziki recipes call for dill or mints. But the authentic Greek tzatziki sauce does not include these two ingredients. Traditional tzatziki should be made with thick and creamy Greek yogurt with a good amount of garlic. Traditional tzatziki Greek yogurt is made out of sheep or goat’s milk giving it its popular creamy texture. The texture of the yogurt and the amount of garlic makes this recipe what it is.

  • After 10 minutes, squeeze the excess water from the cucumbers with a towel.
  • In a bowl combine cucumber, grated garlic, red wine vinegar, and a pinch of salt.
  • Drizzle some olive oil on top of the tzatziki before serving cold. Kalí órexi! Enjoy your meal!

NOTES

  • The garlic for this traditional tzatziki should be grated and not minced by a knife. This way you can ensure the garlic is distributed evenly in the dip.
  • Feel free to add any other herb you like to this recipe. This is the basic traditional version of tzatziki. But you can always add some fresh parsley or dill to tzatziki.
COOKING TIPS:
To achieve a creamy sauce, you must remove the seeds of the cucumbers. The seeds of cucumbers have a lot of water in them and over time they release water causing the yogurt to be watery. The yogurt should be Greek because of the way it is strained, and the milk used.
SERVE WITH:
Tzatziki does not have to be just a side dip for chips. It can be served next to grilled meats, fresh vegetables, in a sandwich, or with pita bread.
