Quest Greek Islands

Tzatziki is tradition Greek cucumber and yoghurt cold soup which is very similar to its Bulgarian counterpart 'Tarator'.

 

It can be served alone as a starter or a refreshing snack and it can also be used as a dip for pita bread or a sauce for pita sandwiches (wonderful with kebab meat and salad!).

 

The amount of garlic can be increased or reduced depending how much you like garlic, or if you have a date!

 

Suitable for vegetarians, quick to prepare and a delicious end result!

 

 

 

 

500 ml of thick Greek yogurt

6 cloves of garlic

Half a cucumber

Fresh dill

2 teaspoons of fresh lemon juice

Olive Oil

 

 

 

Grate the cucumber and crush/chop the garlic.

 

Mix a tablespoon of olive oil and the lemon juice in a bowl.

 

Mix in the yogurt slowly and ensure it is thoroughly mixed with the oil.

 

Add the garlic and cucumber and continue to stir until you have a well mixed consistency.

 

Garnish with fresh cucumber and a sprinkling of chopped fresh dill and serve chilled.
