Tzatziki is our go-to when grilling Mediterranean-style spreads, especially delicious with lamb, chicken, and salmon.

Tzatziki recipe

Makes a little over a cup

Ingredients:

  • 1 cup plain, full-fat Greek yogurt (low-fat works too)

  • 1 clove garlic, crushed or minced fine

  • 1/2 cucumber, peeled

  • 2 tablespoons finely minced mint

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil

  • 1 squeeze lemon juice

  • Salt to taste

Instructions:

Grate the cucumber using the large holes of a grater, then squeeze and drain excess liquid. Stir all ingredients together. Important: taste and add what you think it needs to make it just right.

Note: add about 1/4 cup crumbled feta for a delicious dip with toasted pita.
