Tzatziki- portions for 4
2 cups of greek yogurt the real stuff
3 Tbsp of herbs 2:1 ratio of dill and mint
1 large English cucumber grated
1 teaspoon of salt plus more to taste
4 cloves of garlic grated
juice of half a lime
1- in a small bowl take the cucumber and a grater and grate the cucumber add the salt and leave it for 15 minutes to draw out that water from the cucumber there's nothing worse then a watery Tzatziki. you know the deal with cucumbers alot of water that release when grated .
2- take a medium sized bowl take about 2 cups of Greek yogurt and please use the real stuff go to the nicest grocery store where you live in maybe whole foods is my favorite.
3- grate the garlic and add it to the yogurt stir it in with a spoon.
4- roughly mince the dill and mint. if you don't like dill or mint use parsley or basil, but i highly recommend dill and mint
5-add in the cucumber and the lime juice and the roughly minced herbs.
6- stir it all together and your done.
7- get some pita bread and grilled lamb and enjoy!
*note I did not measure the yogurt so mine ended up too strong of flavor of dill so please measure the yogurt.
