Step-by-Step Instructions
- Begin by peeling and seeding your cucumber. Chop it into small chunks and place in a mixing bowl.
- Sprinkle the chopped cucumber with salt, mix well, and let it sit in a fine mesh sieve over a bowl for about 15 minutes.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the drained cucumber with Greek yogurt, minced garlic, lemon juice, and olive oil. Stir well.
- Add red wine vinegar, chopped dill, and a pinch of salt and pepper to the mixture. Stir until well-distributed.
- Taste the tzatziki and adjust the seasoning. Add more salt, pepper, or lemon juice if needed.
- Refrigerate the mixture in an airtight container for at least one hour before serving.
- When ready to serve, stir the tzatziki and enjoy it with fresh veggies, warm pita bread, or as a topping for grilled meats.
