Classic Farm Tzatziki

Cool, creamy, and bursting with fresh garlic and cucumber flavor — this traditional Greek dip gets a Wild Flight twist using our homegrown ingredients. Serve it with everything!

🌱 From the Field

This recipe features Wild Flight Farm’s juicy English cucumbers, aromatic garlic, and fragrant herbs like dill or mint. Add in a good quality plain yogurt and a drizzle of olive oil, and you’ve got a refreshing summer staple.

🧺 Ingredients (makes about 2 cups)

  • 1 cup plain yogurt (fat-free or full-fat, Greek-style works best)

  • 1 cup grated Wild Flight Farm cucumber (about ½ a long English cucumber)

  • 1–2 cloves Wild Flight Farm garlic, finely minced

  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh dill or mint (or a mix)

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil

  • 1 teaspoon lemon juice or vinegar

  • Salt to taste

  • Optional: a pinch of black pepper or lemon zest for extra zing

🌀 Instructions

  1. Grate the cucumber and place in a clean kitchen towel or cheesecloth. Squeeze out as much water as you can — this keeps your tzatziki thick and creamy.

  2. In a bowl, mix together yogurt, grated cucumber, minced garlic, herbs, lemon juice, olive oil, and salt.

  3. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed. Let it chill in the fridge for 15–30 minutes before serving for best flavor.

🌾 Farmer’s Tip:

Tzatziki keeps well in the fridge for 2–3 days. Make a double batch and use it as a sandwich spread, salad dressing, or dip throughout the week.

🍽️ Serving Ideas:

  • With grilled veggies or meat

  • As a dip for pita, crackers, or fresh carrots

  • In wraps or on top of grain bowls

  • With roasted garlic potatoes or chickpeas
