Garden Dill Tzatziki INGREDIENTS • 1 large cucumber (peeled, seeded & finely diced) • 2 cups full-fat Greek yogurt • ¼ cup fresh dill, finely chopped • ¼ cup fresh basil leaves, sliced into thin ribbons • 2 garlic cloves, grated into a paste • Juice & zest of 1 lemon (to taste) • 1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil • ½ tsp salt INSTRUCTIONS 1. Salt & Crisp: Toss diced cucumber with salt in a strainer. Let sit for 10 mins to drain, then pat completely dry with a towel for extra crunch. 2. Macerate Herbs: In a small bowl, combine lemon juice, garlic paste, and basil ribbons. Gently bruise basil with the back of a spoon to release essential oils and lock in that bright green color. 3. Whip Yogurt Base: Whisk Greek yogurt, lemon zest, and olive oil in a bowl until smooth and airy. 4. Fold & Finish: Fold the cucumber, fresh dill, and lemon-basil mixture into the whipped yogurt. Serve chilled! #bonnieplants #garden #cucumbers #tzatziki #dill
