Method

1. Wash the cucumber and grate it coarsely using a box grater, keeping the skin on for more color.
2. Place the grated cucumber in a clean kitchen towel and squeeze firmly to remove as much water as possible.
3. In a medium bowl, combine the thick 0% Greek yogurt with the squeezed cucumber.
4. Finely mince the garlic after removing the core and add it to the bowl.
5. Add the extra virgin olive oil and the lemon juice, then season with a pinch of salt.
6. Stir everything together until well combined and let it rest in the fridge for at least 30 minutes before serving.

Tips

• For a smoother texture, you can peel the cucumber, but the green skin adds extra fiber and a nice visual contrast.
• Store the tzatziki in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days; it's perfect for dipping vegetables or as a side for grilled proteins.
