Sposób przygotowania

Krok po kroku

1
Grate the cucumber on the large holes of a box grater into a fine-mesh sieve set over a bowl.
Około 5 min
Wskazówka kucharza: No need to peel the English cucumber; the skin adds color and texture.
2
Sprinkle the salt over the grated cucumber, toss to combine, and let it sit for about 15 minutes to draw out excess water.
Około 1 min
Wskazówka kucharza: This step is crucial for preventing a watery tzatziki.
3
Using your hands or the back of a spoon, press the cucumber firmly against the sieve to squeeze out as much liquid as possible; discard the liquid.
Około 2 min
4
In a medium bowl, combine the Greek yogurt, squeezed cucumber, minced garlic, extra virgin olive oil, and lemon juice.
Około 2 min
5
Stir in the chopped fresh dill and optional mint until everything is evenly mixed.
Około 1 min
6
Season with optional black pepper, then taste and adjust any seasonings if necessary.
Około 1 min
Wskazówka kucharza: The flavor will develop as it chills, so be conservative with extra salt.
7
Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
Wskazówka kucharza: For best results, let it chill for 2 hours or more.
8
Serve chilled as a dip or sauce.
Około 1 min
Wskazówka kucharza: A small drizzle of extra virgin olive oil on top just before serving adds a nice finish.
