Ingredients
- cucumber slices 1 cup
- tzatziki sauce 1/4 cup
Method
-
Prepare the cucumber.
Wash the cucumber thoroughly under cold running water. Using a sharp knife, slice the cucumber into thin, even rounds about 1/4 inch thick. Aim for about 1 cup of slices, which weighs approximately 240 grams.
Tip: Chilling the cucumber beforehand enhances its refreshing taste. -
Arrange cucumber slices.
Place the cucumber slices evenly on a serving plate or shallow dish, spreading them out so they don’t overlap too much. This makes it easier to dip and enjoy.
Tip: Use a plate with a slight rim to catch any sauce drips. -
Add tzatziki sauce.
Spoon 1/4 cup of tzatziki sauce into a small bowl or ramekin for dipping. If you prefer, you can also drizzle the sauce lightly over the cucumber slices.
Tip: If using homemade tzatziki, ensure it is well chilled for best flavor. -
Serve immediately.
Serve the cucumber slices with the tzatziki sauce on the side. Enjoy this light and healthy snack right away for the best texture and flavor.
Tip: Garnish with a sprinkle of fresh dill or a few mint leaves if desired.
Pro tips
- For extra crunch, slice cucumbers just before serving to prevent sogginess.
- If you like a bit of spice, add a pinch of ground black pepper or a dash of smoked paprika to the tzatziki.
