Ingredients

Tzatziki

  • 400 g Greek yoghurt
  • 1 1/2 large cucumber
  • 3 cloves garlic, grated or crushed
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tbsp freshly squeezed lemon juice
  • 2 tbsp dill or mint, finely chopped
  • Salt and pepper

Greek salad

  • 1/2 cucumber, halved lengthways and sliced
  • 1 red pepper, cut into short strips
  • 1 green pepper, cut into short strips
  • 14 cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 1 small red onion, cut into thin strips
  • 120 g feta, preferably a block cut into cubes
  • 1 handful parsley, finely chopped
  • 1/2 jar olives, black or green – halved
  • 3 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 clove garlic, grated or crushed
  • 1 1/2 tsp dried oregano
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice
  • 2 tsp dark balsamic vinegar
  • 1 tsp honey
  • 1/2 tsp Dijon mustard
  • Salt and pepper

Instructions

Tzatziki

  • Coarsely grate the cucumber and squeeze out as much liquid as possible. Put the cucumber in a sieve, season lightly with salt – roughly the amount you would add to the dressing anyway – and toss it with your hands. Leave the cucumber to drain for about 15 min., squeezing out more liquid a few times along the way.
  • Stir the yoghurt together with the garlic, olive oil, lemon juice and dill or mint.
  • Then fold in the drained cucumber and season the dressing to taste with a little salt and freshly ground pepper.

Greek salad

  • Stir together the ingredients for the marinade – olive oil, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, balsamic vinegar, honey, garlic and oregano.
    Season to taste with salt and pepper.
  • Combine the vegetables, olives and feta in a large bowl, add the parsley and toss everything with the marinade.
