Tzatziki - Greek Yogurt Dip

I have eaten this dip many more times than I have made it. Last week with my falafel platter I wanted to make this as well. Yogurt is a coolant and it contrasts well with the deep fried falafel. It gives a moistness to the bite which is delicious. And it is pretty straight forward to make as well. About Greek yogurt. Its a thicker, more creamier yogurt than the American whole milk yogurt. It is made with milk which has about 5 to 9% fat content as opposed to 3.5% in American whole milk.

Ingredients: 

2 cups Greek yogurt or hung yogurt

1 medium cucumber peeled and grated

2-3 cloves garlic finely minced

1 tablespoon dill chopped

2-3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil (good quality)

Salt

Mix all the ingredients in a bowl and serve! I drizzled a few drops of olive oil on top for garnish.
