The primary ingredient to Tzatziki is yogurt. In a pinch, plain unsweetened yogurt can be used - however it will be lacking in rich zesty flavor that true Tzatziki can provide. Tzatziki is not difficult to make, as it has only a few ingredients:
* 16 ounces (2 cups) of thick Greek yogurt * 4 to 10 cloves of garlic, finely chopped * 1/2 cup of diced or grated cucumber (Kirby or "English") * 1 tablespoon of olive oil * 2 teaspoons of lemon juice Prepare all ingredients in advance. Combine oil and lemon juice in a medium mixing bowl. Fold the yogurt in slowly, making sure it mixes completely with the oil. Add the garlic, according to taste, and the cucumber. Stir until evenly distributed. Garnish with a bit of green and serve well chilled. Add mint or dill: Slight variations include 1-2 tablespoons of finely chopped fresh dill and/or fresh mint. Tasty additions!
Yield: About 2 1/2 cups
Prep Time: 15 minutes In Greek: τζατζίκι, pronounced dza-DZEE-kee Tzatziki is traditionally served as an appetizer and can be left on the table as an accompaniment to foods throughout the meal. The key to great tzatziki is the thick creamy texture that allows it to be eaten alone, as a dip, as a spread, and as a condiment.
