Sprinkle on the salt, mix and leave for 5 minutes.
Chop the mint leaves finely and place in a small bowl. Add the oil and vinegar and mix well. - 3
Pour the cucumber into a sieve and squeeze the water out using the back of a spoon.

Add the mint/oil/vinegar and mix. Cover and leave in the 'fridge for a few hours for the flavours to develop.

#Tips:
#1- Tzatziki should be thick and stay thick in the fridge. Scraping the seeds from the cucumber and salting the flesh removes a lot of the water from the cucumber and helps stop the tzatziki from separating.

#2- The use of a good quality full-fat Greek-style yoghurt also helps. To thicken "regular" yoghurt you can place it in a muslin bag and hang it up for an hour to allow excess water to drip out. I would not recommend using low-fat yoghurts - they use emulsifiers to make them thick and, depending on the brand, can become runny once you have added all the other ingredients.
#3- Tzatziki will keep in the fridge for up to 1 week.

Tzatziki Tzatziki
Or Cacik if you’re Turkish!This was going to be a full meal of a post. Sadly, my flatbreads didn’t prove well and fell flat, and my venison meatballs were too gamey. I don’t want to put a recipe up that tastes anything less than at least nice, so it’s limited to the one real success in last night’s meal, delicious tzatziki.I should probably be more dishonest in my posts. It was so good, I don’t want to share my Michelin star secrets, that’s what it is!Anyway, tzatziki is a Greek dip, which is fresh, delicious and goes brilliantly with any grilled or barbecued meat. It’s also lovely as is, for dipping a raw carrot, or a hunk of bread into.PS- Greek yoghurt, not ‘Greek Style’. The only one that’s easy to get in the UK is Total, which is now in most supermarkets. It’s both healthier and tastes creamier. Settling for second best here will severely limit the loveliness of the food! Ben Groom -
Tzatziki Potato Salad Tzatziki Potato Salad
If you like tzatziki dip make sure you try this tzatziki potato salad for a classic summer treat. Substitute out the traditional potato salad dressing of mayonnaise sauce for something with a little more kick. Potato salad can be high in fat but Tzatziki is much lighter and better for those trying to count calories, whilst still enjoying this crowd-pleasing BBQ dish. Tzatziki is a Greek dip made with yoghurt, lemon juice and cucumber. You can buy it ready made or make your own at home for even more calorie saving in your tzatziki potato salad. LizzieVO -

Courgette Patties with Tzaziki Dip Courgette Patties with Tzaziki Dip
Hello everyone, The other day I was chatting with a really sweet new blogger friend, in regards to recipes with Courgettes/Zucchinis. She mentioned that her garden is filled with Courgettes, and besides soups she really didn’t know what else to do with them. So, because I know she is a very busy bee, I am posting another recipe that I think she will enjoy, as I hope you will too. 🙂This appetizer goes great with the famous Tzaziki Dip, which I think or I am sure most know of, so to accompany this absolutely delicious Courgette dish, I made the traditional Tzatziki dip. This dip recipe varies from region to region in Greece, others add dill, other add capers, personally the taste is the same as long as there is cucumber, olive oil, and garlic it’s Tzaziki.The drinks that usually accompany these types of appetizers is Ouzo or Tsipouro, but again it could be beer, (I don’t drink Ouzo or Tsipouro…I am more of a wine person 🙂 ) it all comes down to what you enjoy drinking. 🙂 Foodzesty -
Pork meatballs with mint and tzatziki Pork meatballs with mint and tzatziki
Today was Family Day, a provincial holiday to celebrate family togetherness. After a busy day out and about, my original plan was to come home and make a simple Filipino torta for dinner. Problem was, neither my wife nor my daughter are particularly big fans of torta, and it just seemed wrong to make a Family Day dinner that the entire family wouldn't enjoy. So I took the same ingredients, added a little mint and Greek yogurt from the fridge, and made Mediterranean inspired meatballs with tzatziki instead. It was much more enthusiastically received. And pretty darned tasty, too. Robert Gonzal -
