Ingredients

500 g Greek yogurt
300 g Cucumber
30 g Fresh mint
20 g Fresh chives
16 g Lemon juice
16 g Extra virgin olive oil
7 g Garlic
1 pinch Salt
1 pinch Ground black pepper

Preparation

1
Peel and finely grate the cucumber. 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.
2
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.
3
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.

Servieren Sie das Tzatziki mit warmem Pitabrot oder als Beilage zu gegrilltem Lammfleisch. Ein Spritzer frisches Olivenöl kurz vor dem Servieren rundet den Geschmack perfekt ab.
