Ingredients
Scale
Greek Tzatziki Base:
- 2 cups Plain Greek Yogurt (0,1 or 2%)
- 2 tablespoons fresh dill, stems removed and minced
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 1/4 cup mini cucumber, grated or finely minced with no seeds or skin
- juice from 1/2 a lemon
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/8 teaspoon pepper
Dip Toppings:
- 2 mini cucumbers, chopped fine
- 1/3 cup red onion, chopped fine
- 1/2 cup roasted red peppers, chopped fine
- 1/3 cup pepperoncini, seeds, stems and juices removed and chopped
- 2 roma tomatoes, seeds removed and chopped fine
- 1/2 cup kalamata olives, pits removed and chopped in half
- 1/2 cup feta cheese crumbles
- Serve with Pita Chips
Instructions
- In a bowl, combine greek yogurt, fresh dill, minced garlic, olive oil, 1/4 cup grated cucumber, juice from 1/2 a lemon, and salt and pepper. Stir well to combine, then place the bowl in the fridge to cool.
- Chop up the toppings into small pieces (remove seeds from tomatoes and pepperoncini) and try to remove as much juices as possible. This will keep the tzatziki base from getting too watered down.
- Spread the tzatziki dip into the bottom of a pie plate or serving dish.
- Top with tomato, cucumber, red onion, roasted red peppers, pepperoncini and Kalamata olives. Sprinkle on feta cheese. Serve with pita chips and enjoy!
Notes
- Remove as much water as possible when washing the veggies. Also, dry the pepperoncini and olives off a bit.
- I like everything chopped really small so it's bite sized and easy to stay on the pita chips.
- This Dip is best served fresh. It starts to get watered down after a few hours in the fridge from the cucumbers, olives, pepperoncini, etc.
