Tzatziki

7 ingredients
3 steps

Ingredients

  • 3 Persian or 1/2 English hothouse cucumbers, cut into 1/4-inch pieces
  • Kosher salt
  • 1 cup plain whole-milk Greek yogurt
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
  • 1 garlic clove, lightly crushed
  • 1/4 cup chopped mint

Directions

  1. 1
    Toss cucumbers with a few generous pinches of salt in a small bowl; firmly squeeze several times with your hands to release excess water. Drain.
  2. 2
    Mix cucumbers, yogurt, oil, lemon juice, and garlic in a medium bowl; season with salt. Let sit at room temperature until tzatziki tastes garlicky, 15-20 minutes; discard garlic. Stir in mint just before serving.
  3. 3
    Tzatziki (without mint) can be made 3 days ahead. Cover and chill.
