Tzatziki

A cool, bright Greek yogurt sauce with crisp cucumber, garlic, lemon, olive oil, and dill. Draining the cucumber keeps the texture thick and spoonable for dipping, drizzling, or serving alongside grilled foods.

Come preparare

1
Place the grated cucumber in a fine-mesh sieve or clean kitchen towel, sprinkle with a pinch of the salt, and let it drain for 10 minutes. Press or squeeze firmly until very little liquid remains.

2
In a medium bowl, combine the Greek yogurt, drained cucumber, garlic, lemon juice, olive oil, dill, and remaining salt. Mix until evenly distributed and creamy, about 30 seconds.
3
Taste the sauce and adjust with a little more salt or lemon juice if needed. The finished mixture should be thick, cool, and balanced between tangy, garlicky, and herbal flavors.
4
Cover and refrigerate for at least 20 minutes, allowing the garlic and dill to infuse the yogurt. For the best flavor, serve within a few hours of mixing.
5
Stir once, transfer to a serving bowl, and finish with a small drizzle of olive oil if desired. Serve chilled or slightly tempered with pita, grilled foods, or vegetables.

Perché questa ricetta funziona

Draining the cucumber prevents watery sauce, while full-fat Greek yogurt provides a creamy base that carries the sharp garlic, lemon, and grassy dill.

Come conservarla

Store covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Stir before serving; a small amount of liquid on the surface is normal.

Come riscaldarla
