tzatziki

Tzatziki is a Greek dip made with strained yoghurt, cucumber and garlic. In Akis Petretzikis’s recipe, olive oil, salt and pepper accompany these ingredients, with white wine vinegar or apple cider vinegar and optional chopped dill.[1]

The cucumber is coarsely grated, salted and squeezed in a towel to remove liquid. Garlic is crushed with olive oil and mixed into the yoghurt. The dip can be served with pita, fresh herbs and a little olive oil; it also accompanies grilled meat or is eaten on sliced bread.[1][2]
