Tzatziki
Tzatziki is a simple dip that goes well with Greek dishes. You can use drained full-fat or 2% yogurt, or homemade Drained Goat's Milk Yogurt for an even more authentic and tangy flavour. Serve this dip with warmed pita or garlic bread or Deep-Fried Calamari.
Ingredients
- 1 piece (6 inches/15 cm) English cucumber
- 1/2 tsp (2 mL) salt
- 1 cup (250 mL) drained goat's milk yogurt
- 2 tbsp (30 mL) finely chopped fresh mint
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tbsp (15 mL) extra-virgin olive oil
Preparation
Grate cucumber coarsely into bowl; sprinkle with salt and let stand for 30 minutes. Using hands, squeeze cucumber, in batches, to remove as much moisture as possible.
Stir yogurt, mint and garlic into cucumber; scrape into serving bowl. (Make-ahead: Cover and refrigerate for up to 2 days.) Drizzle oil over top. Makes about 1-½ cups (375 mL).
