Notes
Tzatziki is best served chilled, so allow it to rest in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before serving.
The type of yoghurt you use will impact the final taste and texture of the tzatziki. Greek yoghurt is traditional and offers a rich, tangy flavour.
Choose the right cucumbers, opting for varieties known for their low bitterness, such as English or Persian cucumbers.
