Tzatziki recipe
Healthy Greek salad
Ingredients
- 2 cucumber
- salt and pepper to taste
- ½ lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon extra virgin olive oil
- 250 g feta cheese
- 150 g kefir
- 150 g Greek natural yogurt
- 5 cloves garlic
Instructions
- Wash the cucumber and peel it if necessary. If the cucumber is fresh and undamaged, I don't usually peel it. Grate it using the largest holes on the cheese grater. Place it in a bowl, salt it thoroughly, and let it stand for 10 minutes.
- Squeeze out any excess moisture. This step is very important to ensure that the tzatziki is not too runny.
- Crumble the feta cheese into a mixing bowl. You can use a fork to break it up if it's too chunky. Add the kefir and yogurt. Season with salt, pepper, olive oil, lemon juice, and crushed garlic. Mix everything together.
- Leave the tzatziki in the refrigerator for at least an hour to allow the flavors to blend. It is even better if you leave it overnight.
- Serving: Serve the tzatziki cold, garnished with a little olive oil and fresh dill.
