1 cup kefir, 250ml
1 cucumber, grated and squeeze excess liquid out
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 tablespoon fresh dill, chopped
1 tablespoon fresh mint, chopped (optional)
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 teaspoon lemon juice
Salt and pepper (optional)
Grate the cucumber and squeeze out the excess liquid using a clean kitchen towel or paper towels. This step is crucial to stop the tzatziki from becoming watery.
In a bowl, combine the grated cucumber, minced garlic, chopped dill, and mint (if using).
Add the kefir, olive oil, and lemon juice to the bowl. Mix all the ingredients together until well whipped.
You can season the tzatziki with salt and pepper to taste.
Cover the bowl and refrigerate the tzatziki dip for at least 30 minutes before serving. Chilling allows the flavours to marry together.
Serve your homemade kefir tzatziki dip as a refreshing condiment with pita bread, grilled meats, or as a dip.
