Ingredients

4 servings

2 cucumbers (, grated using a box grater, excess water squeezed out very well (3/4 cup once squeezed))
1 1/4 cups Greek yogurt ((or thick plain yogurt))
1 tbsp lemon juice
2 1/2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil (, plus extra for drizzling)
1/4 cup roughly chopped fresh dill (, plus extra for sprinkling, or half the quantity chopped fresh mint (Note 1))
1 large garlic clove (, crushed using garlic press , finely grate or very finely minced using a knife)
1/2 tsp cooking salt / kosher salt
2 x 400g / 14 oz cans chickpeas (, well drained (Note 2 for dried))
3/4 cup finely sliced celery ((1 - 2 stems))
2 tbsp chopped capers ((sub cornichons or dill pickles))

Steps

Mix - Put the Tzatziki ingredients in a big bowl and mix. Add the chickpeas, celery and capers, mix again.
Wait 1 hour - You can eat it straight away but it's better if you can set aside for at least 1 hour to let the flavours meld (especially salt from capers & the garlic). It's even better the next day. Give it a taste and add a pinch of extra salt if needed (capers saltiness can differ).
Serve drizzled with extra olive oil and extra dill. Dive in!
As a side salad or salad meal, stuffed into sandwiches/wraps (+ avocado, good "glue"), add chicken or canned tuna for protein-boost salad meal.
