RECIPE
500g Greek Yoghurt, Full Fat (see notes)
1/2 Lebanese cucumber, peeled
1/4 cup olive oil (see notes)
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 tsp fresh mint, finely chopped
1 tsp salt
Instructions:
Tzatziki Dip
Let’s begin with the yoghurt. If you want more information on what type to use, see the notes below. Place a cheese cloth, otherwise known as a muslin cloth over a sieve. Pour the yoghurt into it and tie a tight knot at the top. Place over a large bowl and place it in the fridge overnight or 24 hours. The longer you let it strain, the thicker your dip will be. Once it’s finished straining, discard the water from the yoghurt and place the strained yoghurt into a medium sized mixing bowl.
Grate the cucumber and place in the cheese cloth. Squeeze it hard to get rid of any of the water from the cucumber. There’s a lot and not straining it will make your strained yoghurt watery again.
Add the strained cucumber in the yoghurt along with the minced garlic, salt, olive oil and chopped mint. Mix until well combined.
To serve, place in your nicest bowl, create a swirl with a spoon and drizzle with some olive oil. Place a black olive in the centre.
Notes
Storage
Dip can be stored in an airtight container for up to 2 weeks.
Greek Yoghurt
Make sure you use full fat yoghurt for this recipe. Using low fat yoghurt is pointless because it’s mostly made up of water and we’re draining it. It’ll just result in less yoghurt and more wastage.
Olive Oil
Make sure you’re using really good quality olive oil here because it really makes a difference. You could use the light extra virgin kind, but I find the full flavoured dark one adds more flavour.
Use coffee paper filter to substitute cheese cloth
I left the video as soon as he said “leave it for 24 hr” 😂 not saying it’s not good, I just needed a “today” version.
You don’t need to do that
Looks delish! Traditionally we add vinegar and dill instead of mint 🥰😜
mint is better then vinegar
VINEGAR STINKS lol
@@halimarafique1639 A little vinegar is added for acidity, otherwise it is not Tzatziki 😜 but a mere yoghurt dip.
I’m gunna make this but add some lemon :D
@@embananasplit2935 That will be good too, some people just don't like vinegar...
@@embananasplit2935 and dill
Roast a whole garlic or 6 😅 in the oven, refrigerate, then just squeeze the garlic out of the clove. No chopping or garlic hands! It's smooth a little bit smokey. Just perfect for tzatziki! I use mint as in the recipe, but, you can substitute it with Dill. Can add half a lemon juice or a tsp of vinegar as well! Oh! And please use full fat Greek yoghurt! Thicker, tastier, better consistency. Nom nom! 🎉
Great suggestions. I do similar things with my homemade tzatziki. Big fan of the smokey garlic, white wine vinegar, and classic dill taste. Full fat Greek yogurt makes a big difference compared to nonfat.
Straining the yogurt is the most important step. I have a reusable coffee filter for my coffee maker so I pull it out, add a paper filter, put it in a bow w/a lid, add a cup of Greek yogurt, put the lid on and put it back in my fridge for a day. I save the cheesecloth for squeezing the water out of the cucumbers.
I have deseeded and grated the cucumbers and have them resting in a bowl with a pinch of salt and then will strain the water out. I'm making your recipe because I love the mint. Everything after straining is your recipe. Magnificent recipe. When I was growing up my mom made this and served it as a dip. She would add a couple of finely diced green onions and serve a toasted muffulotta bread that had been spread with garlic butter and grated parmesan cheese and toasted in the oven. Cut apart to make a upper and lower disc and cut in pie wedges. This sauce is so versatile. Thank you!
I'm 70 years old and Greek "all my life". For an authentic Greek tzatziki and the distinctive taste, you need fresh dill and white wine vinegar. Can substitute with lemon juice. Also, buy a good quality Greek style-stained yogurt like "Fage" and ditch the overnight straining. Besides that, it's okay.
I tried your recipe and it was delicious! A big hit with my family!
I am going to try this, thank you. I have only ever used dill, so trying mint sounds good, I love mint.
I like mints as candies, even a leaf or 2 in lemonade or tea. But NON whatsoever in chocolate nor in savory foods !
I think mixing mint with chocolate is a desecration of chocolate 🍫
But it is merely my opinion as taste or flavour are no matter for argument, it is only a matter of one's preference...
Yesterday in the Greek house I had the opportunity to try it. When I mentioned that I would try it with dill, I was instructed that dill can kill the aroma of a cucumber!
That's why I'm going to do with mint!
Rosemary and dill ( i prefer redwine vinager too) pepper and onion minced or powder in a pinch 😊
I'd remove mint, ad vinegar or lemon and some dill and it's perfect! I also think the strain of the yogurt and the cucumber is right! Even in Greece not everybody does that as they should!
I was just in Athens. A large plate of Tzataki sauce with pita cost only $1.50 U.S.
Thank you, I've just made this, it's the best Tzatziki I've ever had!
I made this recipe and it turned out great! I think I like this version of Tzatziki with mint instead of dill.
I made this some weeks ago, and it was delicious. I am going to make it today again, and came back to refresh my memory on how to prepare it.
Thank you for the great recipe.
Wow Nick that looks so tempting!! 🤤I love the recipe, excellent result thank you for sharing🧡
Tempting is such a great description. I am making it as I write this 🤘
Just got all the ingredients to make this including a cheese cloth :D
was it worth draining the water for 24 hours from the yogurt?
@@amandaburleson2035 dude no not worth it lol, I’ve worked for Turkish/Greek restaurant we never did that 😝
And much less expensive than the restaurants and surprisingly easy to make
هذه حرفيا ( سلطة الخيار ) السورية التي تؤكل كطبق جانبي مع المشاوي و الاكلات الساخنة خصوصا المندي و الكبسة و المقلوبة و المقالي لكن نحن في سورية لا نضيف عليها زيت الزيتون
This tzatziki is amazing! I didn't use mint. I subbed dill like another commenter suggested and it's addictive.
OMG!!! I love this dip!! It looks delicious!! I am a dip person so this would be perfect!! 😊
I'm going to use this recipe thanks 😊
Hi! I will try this recipe for my next party! Thanks for the tips! Greetings from Mexico!
Also Add Small amount of roasted cumin and black pepper in it and voila 😋
Great! I make it the same way you do!! I love it when i go to greek restaurants and kinda tried to figure out how it’s made! I guess i came pretty close!!
Love this easy recipe, Nick! Looks absolutely delish. Thank you for sharing.
I've never eaten it! Another delicious and healthy recipe!
* Is that what se call "Australian bread"? The one which is soft with a little touch of honey? Could you please teach us how to make it? :))
Excellent recipe, I add lemon juice and Dill instead of the mint. I might have to try it with mint next time.
Honestly I feel I can make a true tzatiki now thanks !
Looks so good!at my famyily we mix a little bit apple cider vinegar in there too for a little bit acidity but i can't wait to try your recipe 😊

Yummmmy 😋
Very good buddy. Well done
Wow that looks amazing 😍
Thanks for this...how about a Hummus recipe.
Delicious!!!❤Soo good

hey !! μπράβο .. for the tzatziki !!!
Looks very tasty, but will there be too much oil?
Did you forget two essential herb ingredients? Dill? and another one I won't mention.
Yum!
How can I trust a man who gives up his family secrets.
That is insane 😲👐🔥! So thick, so creamy! I dont think Ive ever seen anyone strain the yogurt before..... briliant sweetheart 😉
This looks SO good! Love tzatziki :) That olive oil looks awesome, too. Do you have a recipe for gyro meat?
It’s not water coming from the yogurt…it’s Whey 🙄 … right? You’re adding Greek yogurt cheese
is it suitable for beef burger ? please answer
Since no answer yet, I love tzatziki sauce and I think a dollop of this sauce will be amazing on your burger! The two go together well.
with mint in, will not last so long I believe
The recipe is not so secret anymore
lol
No dill hmmmm
it is not dip. it is meze. it is eaten with raki
Where’s the DILL???? 😳😞
A little too thick for my taste....I bet it would be great to spread on crackers though.
That is NOT greek yogurt. It is also written on front, greek style, whatever that means. Greek yogurt is much MUCH thicker.
This is the Greekest yogurt ever made in the history of mankind. See? I can match your hysteria over something as simple as an ingredient. Now go outside and play. Take 20 minutes to get over yourself. Will that be enough? Hmm. I dunno. Maybe…
Not a traditional tzatziki sauce. Stop trying so hard with all these unnecessary extra ingredients
it not greek it is turkish. even name is turkish . greekes add -i at the and :) cacik-i kaymak-i baklava-ki musakka-ki kofte-ki dolma-ki :))
Stick to the BAKING VIDEOS
Thats what i like to see
Greek "style" yoghurt is not Greek, style is the keyword, greek style made for supermarkets, buy Greek Yoghurt, from Greece
