10-Minute Greek Tzatziki Dip

10-Minute Greek Tzatziki Dip

Preparation time: 10 minutes | Serves: 4–6

As a self-proclaimed yoghurt connoisseur, I can promise you this Greek tzatziki dip will quickly become a favourite.

I grew up eating homemade yoghurt every day — it was a non-negotiable part of lunch, whether spooned over biryani or paired with flaky, ghee-laden parathas. I have fond memories of my mum making it from scratch, setting warm milk with a spoonful of “jhaag” before tucking it away in a warm spot overnight.

While I don’t eat yoghurt daily anymore, it’s still a staple in my kitchen. Whether swirled into breakfast, used in marinades, or blended into this fresh and herby tzatziki dip, it remains one of my favourite ingredients.

This recipe is simple, healthy, and packed with Mediterranean flavours — perfect for dipping, spreading, or drizzling.

Ingredients

Method

  1. Place grated cucumber in a fine mesh sieve, sprinkle with salt and let drain for about 30 minutes.
  2. Squeeze cucumber well to remove excess moisture.
  3. Mix cucumber with yoghurt, garlic, lemon juice and herbs.
  4. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed.
  5. Drizzle generously with olive oil and serve chilled.

This quick, refreshing tzatziki is perfect as a sauce, spread, or dip. Enjoy with your favourite dishes — or straight from the bowl (no judgement).
