  • 500 g Greek yogurt (full-fat)
  • 2 cloves garlic finely grated
  • 1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil plus extra to serve

  2. Squeeze the cucumber firmly in a clean tea towel to remove the liquid.
  3. Mix the yogurt, garlic, olive oil and vinegar.

Notes

Let tzatziki rest before serving. The garlic mellows and the flavours come together.
