Tzatziki
STOP going to the grocery store and buying premade processed food. This homemade tzatziki is so much better and it comes together in minutes.
If you’re not familiar with Tzatziki, well it’s is one of those dishes that are easier to make than it is to spell. It’s a traditional Greet appetizer (or meze) made from strained yogurt, cucumbers, garlic, olive oil, and fresh herbs. Some variations also add lemon juice or a vinegar.
Tzatziki is typically served as a meze with pita, but it can also be used with all types of meat/poultry (lamb, beef, turkey, chicken, etc.). If you’re also in the need for a new mid-day snack, you can use this Tzatziki as a dip with carrots or any veggie of choice.

You're going to need Greek yogurt, cucumbers, dill, garlic, EVOO, and white wine vinegar.
Finely dice, slice, or grate the cucumber (however you prefer), and place them on a paper towel. Liberally season with salt and set aside for about 10 minutes to draw out as much water as you can.
Add all the ingredients to a large mixing bowl, and mix until fully combined.
Enjoy with pita, raw veggies, or over grilled/roasted meats!

I grew up in a Lebanese Restaurant. I was taught to make it the day before so the flavor can meld, delicious 🎉
Not near enough garlic! Otherwise, it's pretty much the way I make it. Draining the yogurt helps too.
