Ingredients
Ingredients
- 3/4 cup shredded zucchini (about 1 medium zucchini, grated and moisture squeezed out)
- 1 cup plain Greek yogurt
- 1 garlic clove, minced or grated
- 1 tbsp lemon juice
- 1/2 tsp sea salt
- 1 tbsp fresh dill, chopped
- Black pepper to taste
Instructions
- Combine Ingredients: In a small bowl, mix the shredded zucchini, Greek yogurt, minced garlic, lemon juice, sea salt, chopped fresh dill, and black pepper thoroughly. Stir well to incorporate all flavors evenly.
- Taste and Adjust: Taste the mixture and adjust seasoning if needed, adding more salt, pepper, or lemon juice to suit your preference.
- Chill: Cover the bowl and chill the tzatziki in the refrigerator for 20 minutes to allow the flavors to meld and the dip to thicken slightly.
- Serve: When ready to serve, drizzle the tzatziki with high-quality extra virgin olive oil and sprinkle with flaky sea salt for an added burst of flavor and texture.
Notes
- Store the tzatziki in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 3–4 days.
- Stir the dip before serving as some liquid may separate over time.
- Not suitable for freezing as the yogurt base can split and alter texture.
- The 3/4 cup zucchini measure is flexible. Simply grate a medium zucchini, squeeze out moisture, and mix with yogurt and other ingredients for best results.
