A creamy and tangy twist on the classic Greek sauce, combining ripe avocados with refreshing cucumbers and herbs, perfect for dipping or as a topping for your Mediterranean dishes.
Inspired by the traditional Greek tzatziki, this variation incorporates avocado for added creaminess and a modern twist to a classic sauce, marrying Greek flavors with a fresh, healthy ingredient.
2 ripe avocados
1 cup Greek yogurt
1 cucumber, grated
3 cloves garlic, minced
2 tbsp fresh dill, chopped
1 tbsp fresh mint, chopped
2 tbsp lemon juice
1 tsp lemon zest
1 tbsp olive oil
Salt and pepper to taste
1. Cut the avocados in half, remove the pit, and scoop the flesh into a mixing bowl.
2. Add Greek yogurt and mash the avocados until smooth and creamy.
3. Grate the cucumber and gently squeeze to remove excess moisture, then add it to the avocado mixture.
4. Stir in minced garlic, chopped dill, chopped mint, lemon juice, lemon zest, and olive oil.
5. Season with salt and pepper to taste, mixing until well combined.
6. Cover and refrigerate the sauce for at least 30 minutes to allow flavors to meld together before serving.
Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
For best results, reheat by allowing it to come to room temperature or gently heat in a microwave at low power.
