A pourable tzatziki — cool, garlicky and bright with lemon, blended completely smooth with fresh cucumber and dill, finished with whisked-in yogurt. Creamy without being heavy, with a clean tang and a raw-garlic edge that stands up to bitter greens. Clings to salads and grain bowls like a proper sauce.

Instructions

1Blend the cottage cheese, cucumber, garlic, dill and lemon juice until completely smooth, 60-90 seconds.
2Whisk in the yogurt. Season with the salt and pepper.
3Thin with cold water if needed, 15ml at a time, until pourable.
4Chill for 30 minutes before serving.

Notes

Cucumber goes in raw and unsqueezed — its water thins the dressing and carries the flavour. Blend the base completely smooth before the yogurt goes in — whisking rather than blending the yogurt keeps its body. It tightens slightly in the fridge, so stop a touch looser than target — shake before pouring. Keeps 4 days. Makes about 350ml.
