AUTHENTIC GREEK TZATZIKI



Authentic Greek Tzatziki image

This is a lovely, cool, refreshing Greek tzatziki dip that I first tasted and fell in love with in the Greek Islands. It is lovely with hot toasted pita bread and veggies or lamb kebabs! The key is strain the liquid from the cucumber very well so the dip stays creamy and not watery and to always use thick, full-fat Greek yogurt. Low-fat versions won't cut it. Enjoy!

4 tablespoons olive oil
2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
1 clove garlic, minced, or more to taste
1 large cucumber
salt to taste
1 (17.6 ounce) container full fat plain Greek yogurt (such as FAGE Total®)

Steps:
