This fresh yoghurt dip with garlic and cucumber goes well with so many Greek dishes! I love to eat tzatziki with a slice of warm pita or toasted bread. Have fun making this traditional Greek dip!
Garlic
Cucumber contains a lot of water, so you need to squeeze it out by pressing the grated cucumber in your fist. If that’s done, get some lovely garlic. During my workshops my cooking students take it from the garlic braids that can be found all over The Odyssey.
Tzatziki
Peel the garlic gloves and run them through the garlic press. Mix thoroughly the cucumber, the pressed garlic gloves, the olive oil and the yoghurt. Season the tzatziki with salt and pepper and refrigerate up to 2 hours to allow flavors to develop.
When that’s done, stir again before serving, take a slice of warm pita bread and dip it in the tzatziki. You will imagine yourself in Greece!

That looks delicious. I still remember the fun my son Eli and his friend Sean had learning to make it when we visited Poros.
We still enjoy that recipe.
Hey Terry, thank you for your note !!! It was a fun day the day you visited Poros with your sailing boat and came to Odyssey !!!
