Ingredients
1 cucumber
salt for sprinkling
2 large garlic cloves
11⁄2 cups Greek yogurt
1⁄4 cup olive oil
1 Tbsp. red wine vinegar
salt and pepper to taste
2 Roma tomatoes, diced
1⁄3 cup feta cheese, crumbled
5 sprigs dill, stem removed and chopped
1⁄4 cup red onions, diced
whole wheat pita, toasted for dipping
Instructions
Step 1
Grate the cucumber into a sieve over a bowl. Sprinkle salt over the cucumbers to help draw out excess moisture, and let sit for 15 minutes. Press the cucumber to squeeze out excess water, then dry with a paper towel.
Step 2
Grate, finely chop or use a garlic press for the garlic.
Step 3
In a bowl make the tzatziki — combine garlic, Greek yogurt, olive oil and red wine vinegar. Add salt and pepper to taste.
Step 4
In another bowl or dish, start layering: add tzatziki, then diced Roma tomatoes, then crumbled feta cheese, and finally sprinkle on the dill and red onion. Enjoy with toasted whole wheat pita.
