Author Notes
Tzatziki is most often served as an accompaniment to meat dishes, something I have never understood. To me it is the perfect summer salad – cool and refreshing and very healthy. I slice the cucumber into larger pieces and use non-fat yoghurt to make it substantial but light. It is a balm on a hot day. —checker
Ingredients
-
1 large cucumber, halved lengthwise then sliced
-
2 tablespoons fresh dill, roughly chopped
-
2 large cloves garlic, finely chopped
-
juice of half a lemon, or to taste
-
approximately 1 cup plain non-fat yoghurt
-
fresh cracked pepper
Directions
-
Combine all the ingredients in a bowl and stir until well blended. I find it is best to add them a little bit at a time until I get a flavor I like, keeping in mind that it will intensify as it sits.
Someone once said, "the wise man knows that he knows nothing at all." Therefore if I spend my days seeking knowledge than I am simply trying to be a better fool. Hopefully I will eat well along the way.
