Cool cucumber dipped in garlicky tzatziki. This Greek-inspired low calorie snack is refreshing on hot days and satisfying enough to tide you over until dinner.
Wash the English cucumber thoroughly, then slice into thin, uniform rounds for even dipping.
Place the sliced cucumber circles on a plate and lightly season with a pinching of salt to draw out excess moisture. Let sit for 5 minutes, then gently pat dry with a paper towel.
In a medium bowl, combine 1 cup of plain Greek yogurt, juice from 1/2 a lemon, 1 finely minced garlic clove, and 1 tablespoon chopped fresh dill.
Stir in 1 teaspoon of olive oil, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 1/8 teaspoon black pepper. Mix well until the tzatziki reaches a creamy consistency.
Chill the tzatziki sauce for at least 5 minutes to allow flavors to meld, then serve alongside the cucumber slices.
