Greek Tzatziki with 10% Greek Yogurt
This is not just a dip; it’s a Mediterranean tradition. The foundation is our creamy, authentic Greek yogurt with 10% fat from Repa Mediterran, ensuring that signature velvety texture.
Recipe for 2 People
Ingredients:
250g Authentic Greek Yogurt (10% fat) by Repa Mediterran
1/2 Cucumber
2-3 cloves of Garlic (to taste)
2 tbsp Extra Virgin Olive Oil from Crete (Repa Mediterran)
1 tbsp Greek vinegar or a squeeze of lemon juice
1 tsp Dried oregano or fresh dill
A pinch of sea salt and black pepper
Preparation:
Prepare the cucumber: Coarsely grate the cucumber. Crucial step: sprinkle with a pinch of salt, let sit for 5 mins, then squeeze out as much liquid as possible using a kitchen towel. The drier the cucumber, the creamier your tzatziki!
Garlic: Finely mince or crush the garlic.
Mix: Place the yogurt in a bowl. Stir in the cucumber, garlic, olive oil, and vinegar.
Season: Add salt, pepper, and herbs to taste.
Rest: Chill in the fridge for at least 30 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld.
Why is Tzatziki so healthy?
Tzatziki is a nutritional powerhouse. The 10% fat yogurt provides high-quality protein and essential calcium. The probiotics support gut health. Garlic acts as a natural antibiotic and benefits heart health, while olive oil provides healthy monounsaturated fats.
What makes this dish so special?
It’s the perfect balance of freshness and richness. The secret lies in the quality: the high fat content of the authentic yogurt prevents the dip from becoming watery and carries the flavors of garlic and Cretan olive oil beautifully.
Who is it for?
Vegetarians: An excellent source of protein.
Low-Carb & Keto: Ideal due to high fat and low carb content.
Athletes: Great for muscle recovery thanks to the casein protein in the yogurt.
Zero-Waste Tip
Don't discard the cucumber peels! If using an organic cucumber, grate it with the skin for extra color and vitamins. If you prefer peeling, use the skins to flavor your drinking water (Infused Water) or use them as a refreshing, cooling eye mask.
Drink Recommendation
A chilled glass of Mostra White Wine or a crisp Assyrtiko pairs perfectly with the garlic and freshness of the tzatziki.
