• Cucumber - 1 medium, grated
• Garlic - 1 clove, minced
• Lemon juice - 1 tablespoon
• Olive oil - 1 tablespoon
• Fresh dill - 1 tablespoon, chopped

Steps

2. Let the tzatziki sit in the refrigerator for at least 10 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.

4. Once the pita is warm, cut it in half to create pockets.
5. Serve the warm pita halves with the tzatziki sauce on the side for dipping or generously fill the pita pockets with tzatziki.
