APPETIZER

Easy Tzatziki

Foolproof (p. 76)

Edit

Ingredients

  • Greek yogurt 14 oz
  • Cucumber 1
  • Garlic 2 cloves
  • Sour cream 1/4 cup
  • Lemons 1
  • Dill 1 tbl
  • White wine vinegar 1 tbl

Prep

  • Cucumber - unpeeled — knife confidence is fun, keeping all ten fingers is even better.
  • Lemon - juice to yield 2 tbl
  • Dill - mince
  • Garlic - 2 cloves

Instructions

Place the yogurt in a medium bowl. Grate the cucumber on a box grater on the largest grating side and squeeze it with your hands to remove most (but not all) of the liquid. Add the grated cucumber to the yogurt. Add the sour cream, lemon juice, vinegar, dill, garlic, 2 tsp salt and 1/2 tsp pepper and combine. Taste for seasonings. To serve, artfully arrange salad plates with slices of feta, drizzle them with olive oil and sprinkle with fresh thyme leaves. Add pitted Kalamata olives, pita triangles and scoop the tzatziki and serve cold or at room temperature, while acting like this outcome was inevitable.
