Tzatziki

By Jennifer Segal

Servings: 2 cups

Ingredients

1-1/2 cups plain 2% Greek yogurt (I use Fage)
1 medium English or hothouse cucumber, seeded, coarsely grated and squeezed as dry as possible (about 1 cup)
2 small garlic cloves, minced
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh mint, plus a bit more for garnish

Instructions

1.Combine all ingredients in a medium bowl and mix until well combined. Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary (I add about ¼ teaspoon more salt but season to your own taste). Cover and chill until ready to serve. Garnish with more finely chopped mint if desired.

looks like a solid recipe my man

i appreciate the help but do you think it would still be good without the olive oil?

just use chummus.


you should be able to leave out the olive oil in ylems recipe but why would you? olive oil is good for you.

hummus poses a off taste, as for olive oil it is 8g of fat per table spoon regardless

the recipe yields 2 cup... and use 2 tablespoon of evoo... as long as you don't put the whole thing in ur pita ur fine... couple grams of non-saturated fat are not gonna kill ya...

newsflash : certain types of fat are good for you

Just bake watever u make
