For a thicker tzatziki, use Greek yogurt and be sure to squeeze out as much moisture as possible from the grated cucumber. Adjust the amount of garlic to your preference. Start with one clove and add more if desired. Fresh dill is essential for the authentic flavor of tzatziki. If fresh dill is unavailable, you can use dried dill, but use sparingly as it has a more concentrated flavor. Tzatziki can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days. The flavor will continue to develop over time.
