Authentic Greek Tzatziki

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!

Ingredient

  • 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®)
Direction
  1. Pour garbanzo beans into the blender, reserving about 1 tablespoon for garnish. Add reserved liquid, lemon juice, tahini, and salt to the blender. Blend until creamy and well mixed.
  2. Transfer mixture to a medium serving bowl. Drizzle olive oil and sprinkle pepper over the top. Garnish with reserved garbanzo beans.
