• 400g thick Greek yoghurt
• 1 cucumber, coarsely grated
• 2 cloves garlic, crushed
• 1 tbsp olive oil
• 1 tsp red wine vinegar
• a small handful of dill
• salt

👩‍🍳 Method

1. Grate the cucumber, salt it and leave it in a sieve for 20 min.
2. Wring it out in a tea towel. You will be astonished how much water comes out, and this step is the whole difference between tzatziki and cucumber soup.
3. Stir it through the yoghurt with the garlic, oil, vinegar and dill.
4. Season, then chill at least an hour — the garlic needs time to spread through.
5. Use full-fat yoghurt. Low-fat splits and tastes sour.
6. Loosen with a little more oil before serving if it has stiffened.
