Refreshing Mint Tzatziki | Greek Dip Classic

Peel the cucumber and grate it finely. Place the grated cucumber in a sieve hung over a bowl, lightly salt it, and let it drain for about 2 hours so that the tzatziki remains nicely creamy later.

In a bowl, stir the Greek yogurt smooth with olive oil, lemon juice, and the pressed garlic. Finely chop the mint and chives and fold them into the yogurt mixture. Season with salt and pepper.

Stir the well-drained cucumber into the yogurt mixture. Let the tzatziki chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before serving, so that the flavors can develop optimally.
