Advice

Really squeeze the cucumber—excess water thins the sauce and mutes flavor; dried shreds keep tzatziki creamy and crisp.

Why it works

Olive oil emulsifies into the yogurt for a silky body; salt + lemon tighten flavors while dill and garlic deliver the classic savory snap.

Twist

Tarator-style dressing: Whisk in 120 ml (½ cup / 4 fl oz) cold water to thin; pour over chopped cucumbers and walnuts for a speedy summer salad.
