# What You'll Need:

→ Vegetables

01 - 8 medium radishes, washed and grated
02 - 1 small cucumber, peeled, seeded, and grated
03 - 1 garlic clove, finely minced

→ Dairy

04 - 1 cup Greek yogurt, low-fat or full-fat

09 - ½ teaspoon salt
10 - ¼ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

# How To Make It:

01 - Place grated radishes and cucumber in a clean kitchen towel. Squeeze out as much excess liquid as possible to prevent watery dip.

03 - Stir until all ingredients are well incorporated and mixture achieves a smooth, creamy consistency throughout.
04 - Taste and adjust seasoning as needed, adding more salt, pepper, or lemon juice to achieve desired flavor balance.
05 - Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow flavors to meld and develop fully before serving.
06 - Serve chilled, garnished with additional fresh herbs and a light drizzle of olive oil.

# Expert Tips:

01 -
  • The radishes add this gorgeous peppery crunch that regular tzatziki just doesnt have
  • It comes together in literally fifteen minutes but tastes like you planned it for days
02 -
  • Squeezing out the liquid from the grated vegetables is absolutely crucial or you'll end up with soup instead of dip
  • The flavors really do need that chilling time in the fridge to marry properly
03 -
  • Grate your radishes and cucumber using the large holes of your box grater for the perfect texture
  • Let your yogurt sit in a sieve for 10 minutes if you want an extra thick and creamy result
