This homemade tzatziki recipe is an easy, healthy dip made with Greek yogurt, grated cucumber, lemon juice, mint and dill. It can be whipped together in under 10 minutes and makes the perfect sauce, dip or marinade.
Peel and grate the English cucumbers. If you are using large cucumbers, halve and scoop out the seeds. Squeeze the excess moisture in cheesecloth or a clean tea towel. You should have about ¼ cup. Chop if desired.
In a medium bowl combine yogurt, cucumber, lemon juice, mint, dill and optional garlic. Stir to combine. Taste and season with salt.
You can adjust the consistency by adding more yogurt or lemon juice or by adding back in some of the squeezed cucumber liquid.
