Velvet Garlic & Herb Tzatziki

Ingredients

• 1 large English cucumber, grated
• 2 cups full-fat Greek yogurt
• 2 cloves garlic, smashed and minced into a fine paste
• 1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
• 1 tbsp fresh lemon juice
• 2 tbsp fresh dill, finely chopped
• 1 tbsp Salted Perfection Perfect Salt

Instructions

1. Grate the English cucumber on the large holes of a box grater. Place the shavings in a clean kitchen towel or cheesecloth.
2. Squeeze the towel over the sink with serious force. You want to extract as much liquid as physically possible. If you think you are done, squeeze one more time. The cucumber must be dry to keep the sauce thick.
3. In a mixing bowl, combine the Greek yogurt, minced garlic paste, olive oil, and lemon juice. Whisk until the oil is fully emulsified into the yogurt.
4. Fold in the dried cucumber shavings and the fresh dill.
5. Season the mixture with the Salted Perfection Perfect Salt. Stir well to distribute the garlic and black pepper notes evenly throughout the sauce.
6. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to let the flavors marry and the garlic mellow slightly.
7. Serve chilled with warm pita or grilled vegetables. DUNZO!
