Frequently Asked Questions About Thick cucumber dill tzatziki
How do you make thick cucumber dill tzatziki?
Thick cucumber dill tzatziki is made by mixing thick yogurt with grated or finely chopped cucumber, dill, garlic, and salt. Squeeze excess liquid from the cucumber first so it does not thin the dip.
What is the difference between thick cucumber dill tzatziki and regular tzatziki?
Thick cucumber dill tzatziki has a denser, spoonable texture than a looser tzatziki. It is made with thick yogurt and less added liquid, while the cucumber is drained or squeezed to keep the dip from becoming watery.
Why does thick cucumber dill tzatziki get watery?
Thick cucumber dill tzatziki gets watery when cucumber releases liquid into the yogurt. Squeeze grated cucumber before mixing; if the dip is already thin, stir in thicker yogurt and chill it until serving.
Which yogurt is best for thick cucumber dill tzatziki?
Greek-style strained yogurt or another thick plain yogurt works best for thick cucumber dill tzatziki. Its consistency holds up when cucumber is added; if using regular yogurt, drain it or squeeze the cucumber particularly well.
Is thick cucumber dill tzatziki the same as Greek tzatziki?
It is a thick, cucumber-and-dill style of tzatziki, but recipes vary. Tzatziki is commonly made with yogurt, cucumber, garlic, and herbs; some versions use mint instead of dill or add a little olive oil.
Should you peel cucumbers for thick cucumber dill tzatziki?
You can make thick cucumber dill tzatziki with peeled or unpeeled cucumber. Leave the skin on if it is thin and the cucumber is well washed for a little more texture; peel thick or tough-skinned cucumbers.
Can you make thick cucumber dill tzatziki without garlic?
Yes, thick cucumber dill tzatziki can be made without garlic. The cucumber, dill, and yogurt still give it its characteristic fresh flavor, so simply leave the garlic out or use less if you prefer a milder dip.
What do you serve with thick cucumber dill tzatziki?
Thick cucumber dill tzatziki goes well with grilled meats, kebabs, roasted vegetables, and warm flatbread. Serve it chilled as a dip or alongside a main dish to add a cool, tangy contrast.
Can you make thick cucumber dill tzatziki ahead of time?
Yes, thick cucumber dill tzatziki can be made ahead and chilled before serving. Squeeze the cucumber well to limit liquid release, then stir the dip before serving and adjust the texture if it has loosened.
How long does thick cucumber dill tzatziki last in the fridge?
Keep thick cucumber dill tzatziki covered in the refrigerator and use it within a few days. The cucumber may release liquid as it sits, so stir before serving and discard it if it has been left out for an extended period.

What is Thick cucumber dill tzatziki?
Thick cucumber dill tzatziki is a Turkish-style kuru cacık: a cool yogurt dip mixed with cucumber and dill. Unlike a looser cacık, it is made with little or no added water, so it stays thick enough to scoop; garlic is a common optional addition.
Serve it chilled alongside grilled meats, rice dishes or vegetables, or spoon it onto bread as part of a mezze spread. It also works as a refreshing side at a summer meal. Yogurt makes it a protein- and calcium-rich dip, with 7.2 g of protein per 100 g. For a lighter consistency, stir in a little water; draining the cucumber first helps keep the dip from turning runny.
