  • Total Time: 30 minutes
  • Yield: Serves 4

Ingredients

Ingredients

  • 3/4 cup shredded zucchini (about 1 medium zucchini, grated and squeezed of moisture)
  • 1 cup plain Greek yogurt
  • 1 garlic clove, minced or grated
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice
  • 1/2 tsp sea salt
  • 1 tbsp fresh dill, chopped
  • Black pepper, to taste
  • Extra virgin olive oil, for drizzling
  • Flaky sea salt, for garnish

Instructions

  1. Combine Ingredients: In a small bowl, mix together the shredded zucchini, Greek yogurt, chopped dill, minced garlic, lemon juice, sea salt, and black pepper. Stir well until all ingredients are thoroughly incorporated.
  2. Season and Chill: Taste the mixture and adjust the seasoning if necessary. Once satisfied, cover the bowl and chill the tzatziki in the refrigerator for 20 minutes to let the flavors meld.
  3. Serve: When ready to serve, drizzle the tzatziki with high-quality extra virgin olive oil and sprinkle with flaky sea salt for an added burst of flavor and texture.

Notes

  • Make sure to squeeze out excess moisture from the shredded zucchini to avoid a watery dip.
  • Fresh dill is recommended for the best flavor, but dried dill can be used in a pinch (reduce quantity accordingly).
  • This dip can be served with pita bread, fresh vegetables, grilled meats, or used as a sauce for wraps and sandwiches.
  • For a thicker consistency, strain the Greek yogurt before mixing.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
