Tzatziki is a famously garlicky yoghurt dip from Greece. It’s commonly eaten as a sauce on pitta or a dip for vegetables.
SERVES 4
• 1 cucumber
• 1 garlic clove, minced
• 1 small bunch dill, chopped
• 500ml full-fat Greek yoghurt

1. Peel the cucumber, cut it in half, then scoop out the seeds with a spoon and discard.
