TZATZIKI STYLED CUCUMBER SALAD

Method

By Alysha Melnyk

Tzatziki is a signature dish of Southeast Europe and Middle Eastern cuisines. Traditionally, Tzatziki is made from a salted yogurt mixed with cucumber, garlic, salt, olive oil, occasionally vinegar and/or lemon juice, and herbs like dill, thyme, etc. Tzatziki can be served as a dip, sauce, or soup. This cucumber salad is inspired by tzatziki, incorporating many of the key ingredients in making the traditional dish. Pairs well with seafood or served as an easy picnic side dish.

Enjoy!

  1. Combine cucumber, onions, lemon, yogurt, and dill in a bowl and stir thoroughly for everything to combine/mix.
