250gGreek yoghurt
4Minced garlic cloves
Juice of half a lemon
Large handful of fresh dill, finely chopped
Few sprigs of fresh mint, finely chopped

Add the Greek yoghurt to a bowl with the lemon juice and stir to loosen up. Add a little glug of olive oil to loosen up further if desired.
Season with salt and pepper and add the minced garlic. Stir well.
Stir in the dill and mint.
Halve the cucumber portion and use a spoon to scoop out the seeds. Use the coarse side of a box grater to grate the cucumber at an angle to get strands.

Finish your tzatziki for serving by topping with cracked black pepper, a drizzle of olive oil and some sprigs of fresh dill.
