Cuisine Mediterranean
- 2 cups greek yogurt
- 1 English cucumber, peeled and chopped very finely - or grated (see below) use whatever cucumbers you want, the outcome wont vary that much.
- 2 cloves garlic Chopped or pushed through a garlic press. Also, I use more than 2 cloves but it's your preference.
- 1 lemon, zested use only the zest of the lemon
- 2 tbsp dill chopped
- 2 tbsp mint chopped
- salt and pepper to taste
While I specifically say above that no tools are necessary to make this, they definitely help a little. For example, the cucumber. Sure, chop away until you’ve got some cucumber mush and then mix it in with the yogurt. Or…..avoid looking like a caveman and simply grate the cucumber into the yogurt.To the cucumber yogurt mixture, add the remaining ingredients and stir until everything is well incorporated.And….that’s it. Tzatziki!
