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.

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!

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

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

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.
