Homemade Tzatziki with Pita Bread
Making homemade tzatziki is super easy, just follow this recipe! It’s even better when served with warm pita bread, either as an appetizer or a snack.
Servings: 1 bowl
Ingredients
- 1 small cucumber
- 300 ml Greek yogurt
- 1 garlic clove pressed
- 1 tbsp finely chopped dill mint is also delicious!
- salt and pepper
- warm pita bread
Instructions
- Peel the cucumber and grate it with a coarse grater. Place the grated cucumber in a sieve and press out as much liquid as possible (If it’s too watery, your tzatziki will turn out thin.).
- In a bowl, mix together the cucumber, yogurt, garlic, dill, and a pinch of salt and pepper.
- Chill the tzatziki in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours before serving.
- Cut the pita bread into wedges and warm them in the oven.
- Serve the tzatziki with the pita bread.
Tips
Sometimes I remove the watery center with seeds from the cucumber before grating. That helps with moisture, you might want to use a larger piece of cucumber when you do this.
How to store
