Grilled Pita with Homemade Tzatziki

01Method

1. 1

   Coarsely grate the cucumber, transfer it to a colander, salt it, and let it sit for 10–15 minutes until it releases its liquid. Then squeeze it out thoroughly so your tzatziki doesn't turn watery. Stir together with the yogurt, minced garlic, lemon juice, olive oil, salt, and pepper.

2. 2

   If you like, fold in some fresh dill or mint for a bright, herby flavor. Cover the tzatziki and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to let the flavors come together.

3. 3

   Brush both sides of the pita breads lightly with olive oil.

4. 4

   Grill on a grill, grill pan, or under the broiler for about 1–2 minutes per side, until golden and warmed through.
