Recipe
Tzatziki
What you’ll doYou will start by salting and draining grated cucumber, then squeezing out the remaining water by hand before folding it into yoghurt along with minced garlic, chopped dill, olive oil, and white wine vinegar. The mixture then goes into the fridge for at least half an hour — the only real waiting point — to let the flavours settle before you spoon it into a serving bowl.
