    This Thermomix tzatziki dip will instantly transport you to a sunny Greek village - at least mentally! Made in minutes using just 6 simple ingredients.

    A bowl of tzatziki with a spoon in the middle.

    After so much positive feedback following my Thermomix hummus & Thermomix baba ganoush recipes, I thought I'd whip up another delicious dip!

    PS - I include instructions on how to make this tzatziki without a TM below!

    • Easy Thermomix Tzatziki Dip

    Why I Love This Recipe

    • Simple ingredients
    • Easy to customize
    • Only 6 ingredients are needed (plus salt & pepper)
    • Turns out perfect each time
    • A great alternative to mayo
    • So refreshing, healthy & vibrant
    • Extremely versatile.

    My aim is to make this your new go-to Thermomix tzatziki recipe that you can always count on.

    Ingredients

    You won't need much to make this recipe.

    In fact, you might already have these ingredients in your fridge/pantry.

    PS - If you want to skip the expert tips & FAQ just scroll down to the bottom for all the exact measurements.

    All ingredients needed to make tzatziki on a chopping board.

    Ingredient Details

    Olive oil - Use either light olive or extra virign olive oil.

    Lemon juice - I recommend freshly squeezed juice - not oncentrate. However, if that's all you have, concentrated lemon juice is fine too.

    Garlic - Adds tons of flavor. If you're not a fan, use a little bit less or skip altogether.

    Cucumber - The star of every tzatziki recipe. Lebanese or English cucumbers are best as they have less seeds. The crunchier & firmer, the better!

    Yogurt - I chose soy yogurt to keep this dairy-free. Any Greek-style yogurt will work.

    Herbs - I used fresh dill, but you can also use mint instead.

    TIP - Missing some ingredients? I prepared a list of possible substitutes below.

    Equipment

    • Thermomix
    • Sieve to drain excess cucumber water
    • A bowl for serving

    Steps

    Hint - This is just a quick overview. Read the exact measurements & instructions at the bottom!

    Chopped cucumber with a sieve and chopping board.
    1. Place cucumber in your Thermomix bowl. Chop 5 seconds / Speed 5
    2. Remove cucumber from TM bowl and place into a sieve to drain excess water.
    3. Add herbs and garlic to a TM bowl. Chop for 4 seconds / Speed 5 (or longer if desired). Scrape down the sides of the bowl
    4. Add the remaining ingredients. Mix for 4 seconds / Reverse / Speed 3.
    5. Transfer to a serving bowl and add a drizzle of olive oil. Sprinkle more chopped dill on top.

    Top Tips

    • Taste and adjust - You might prefer more/less garlic, salt, pepper, etc. Before serving, give it a taste & adjust accordingly.
    • You can add more or fewer cloves of garlic depending on your preference.
    • Don't forget to dab the cucumber with a kitchen or paper towels to remove excess water.
    • If you don't eat/like garlic, simply omit it.
    • You can use dry dill instead of fresh. Don't use more than ⅓ of the fresh amount (the flavor is a lot more concentrated!)

    Green tip - Don't throw away the leftover cucumber water! Transfer it to a large glass, and add some ice cubes, fresh mint & a squeeze of lemon. You've got yourself a lovely refreshing drink!

    FAQ

    A bowl of tzatziki dip with a spoon in the middle.
    Can I freeze homemade tzatziki?

    No, don't freeze it. Tzatziki is not freezer-friendly. The cucumber will turn mushy and the lemon might curdle.

    Is tzatziki good for your gut?

    Yes! Make sure you're using yogurt that's packed with probiotics - they are what makes tzatziki good for your gut health (Source).

    Substitutions

    Don’t have a certain ingredient?

    • Cucumber - use grated zucchini instead.
    • Lemon juice - use white wine vinegar.
    • Garlic - simply omit.
    • Olive oil - omit or use other oil like sunflower, rapeseed, etc.
    • Dill - use other herbs like mint, chives, or cilantro. You can also use a combination of various herbs.

    Storage

    First and foremost, don't let it sit at room temperature for too long.

    Transfer to an airtight container straight away. Seal well & keep in the fridge for up to 3 days.

    Remember it will get more watery the longer you store it.

    Serving

    A spoon containing tzatziki.
    A small bowl with a fried dipper and some sauce.

    Tzatziki is SUCH a versatile dip - perhaps one of the most versatile ones!

    Here are some ideas on how to serve it:

    • Dip it in veggies (celery, pepper, carrot sticks, or my 10-minute tenderstem broccoli)
    • Eat it by itself
    • Serve it with bread (like this freshly made garlic herb bread or some yummy pretzels)
    • Add a dollop to salads, burgers, and sandwiches
    • Goes well with potato salad
    • Use it on loaded fries

    No Thermomix?

    Here's how to make it without a TM (use the same measurements).

    1. Grate the cucumber and strain through a sieve to remove any excess water.
    2. Add thinly chopped dill and minced garlic to a bowl. Then add cucumber & the remaining ingredients.
    3. Mix with a spoon until well combined. Taste & adjust.
    4. Serve with extra olive oil & some more dill on top.
