Make this easy dill tzatziki in just 5 minutes for a bright and refreshing dip you can enjoy as a healthy snack or fresh condiment with Mediterranean rice bowls or veggie pita pockets.

If you’ve ever eaten at a Mediterranean restaurant or enjoyed a gyro, you’ve probably had tzatziki. It’s a creamy cucumber and yogurt based dip or sauce that’s pretty much a staple in Greek diets – and it’s as delicious as it sounds! You can easily make this refreshing and healthy tzatziki with dill at home with just 5 ingredients and a couple minutes.

Key Ingredients

• Cucumber – Look for ripe cucumbers that are dark green and firm for the best flavor. 
• Plain Greek yogurt – We recommend using a brand of Greek yogurt that has a thicker consistency if you prefer a thicker, creamier tzatziki. Our go-to is Fage 5% milkfat Greek yogurt – it’s perfect for this easy tzatziki recipe!
• Minced garlic – You can use minced garlic or fresh garlic for this recipe.
• Fresh dill – Although it may be tempting, don’t skip out on the fresh dill. It adds some much-needed zing to this tzatziki and helps it taste so fresh.
• Sea salt – Salt helps to bring out the flavors of the tzatziki. Start with a small amount and adjust to your taste.
