Things to know about Talatouri Recipe

Cypriot Talatouri is a traditional yogurt dip from Cyprus Cuisine. This simple and quick recipe is packed with flavor thanks to the addition of garlic, cucumber, lemon juice, and olive oil.

They are both served cold as a side dip for Souvlaki, Gyros, and pita bread. Traditional Cypriot Talatouri dip should be made with thick and creamy Greek yogurt with a good amount of garlic.

• If you choose you can use dried mint instead of fresh.

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:

This recipe does not have to be just a side dip for chips. It can be served next to grilled meats, in a sandwich, or with pita bread.
