This authentic Greek tzatziki is a versatile vegetarian dip that brings a refreshing burst of flavour to any sharing platter. By combining thick, strained Greek yoghurt with finely diced cucumber and a sharp hit of garlic, you create a condiment that is both cooling and complex. The addition of fresh dill and shallots provides an aromatic depth that makes this homemade version far superior to shop-bought alternatives.

Ideal as part of a Mediterranean mezze or as a healthy accompaniment to grilled vegetables, this recipe is incredibly simple to prepare. For a quick savoury snack, try serving it on toasted pita points topped with sun-ripened tomatoes and a pinch of dried oregano. It keeps well in the fridge, making it a brilliant make-ahead option for summer entertaining or weekday lunches.

Ingredients for Tzatsiki

1 English cucumber, peeled
10 cloves garlic, smashed and finely chopped
240ml distilled white vinegar
4 shallots, thickly sliced
1 cup small, picked sprigs dill
2 1/2 cups strained or Greek yoghurt or labne spread
2 cucharadas de aceite de oliva virgen extra
2 cucharadas de jugo de limón fresco
Sal kosher y pimienta negra molida

How to make Tzatsiki

Quarter the cucumber lengthwise and trim off the triangular wedge of seeds. Cut the cucumber into a very small, even dice. Transfer it to a mixing bowl.

In a food processor, combine the garlic, vinegar, shallots, and dill. Pulse until finely chopped but not puréed. Add the mixture to the cucumbers; add the yoghurt. Fold together with a rubber spatula, adding olive oil and lemon juice. Season liberally with kosher salt and pepper, starting off with 1 tablespoon salt. Taste for seasoning. You can store Tzatsiki in a covered, clean jar in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.

The Wedge: Smear some Tzatsiki onto a pita triangle. Top with a tiny pinch of dry Greek oregano, a few pieces of diced tomato or a halved grape or cherry tomato, and a few salami matchsticks.
