Tzatziki
Firstly, peel the cucumber ‚ this eliminates any crunchy bits in your mostly smooth tzatziki. Then chop it finely, and mix with the lemon juice and oil. Once mixed, add the Greek yoghurt a little at a time ensuring everything is mixed together completely. Pop it into the dish you’ll be serving it in, and put it in the fridge while you toast your pitta breads. Once toasted, the bread is lovely when cut diagonally ‚ all the better and warmer to dip into the cool tzatziki.
