Ingredients for 1 person:

• 1/2 cucumber

• 150 g Greek yoghurt
• 1 tbsp Minos Organic Extra Virgin Olive Oil
• 1 tsp fresh lemon juice
• 1 tsp fresh dill, finely chopped (optional)
• Salt and pepper to taste

Preparation:

Preparation time: approx. 10 minutes + 30 minutes brewing time

Difficulty level: easy

1. Wash and peel the cucumber. Then grate the cucumber on a coarse grater.
2. Put the grated cucumber in a clean tea towel and squeeze out the liquid well. You can do this by wringing the tea towel over the sink. This will prevent the tzatziki from becoming too watery.
3. Peel the garlic clove and chop finely or grate it on a garlic grater.
4. Place the Greek yogurt in a bowl and add the grated cucumber, chopped garlic and olive oil.
5. Pour the fresh lemon juice over the mixture and add the finely chopped dill (if desired).
6. Stir well until all ingredients are evenly mixed.
7. Season with salt and pepper. You can also add a little more lemon juice if you prefer a fresher taste.
8. Leave the tzatziki in the fridge for at least 30 minutes so that the flavours can develop properly.
9. Stir again before serving and garnish with some fresh dill or a splash of olive oil if desired.
