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!
- 2 tbsp lemon juice
- salt and pepper
- warm pita bread
Instructions
- Peel the cucumber, slice lengthwise in two and remove the seeds. I do this using a spoon. Grate the cucumber 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, lemon juice, 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.
