# Expert Tips:

01 -
  • The radishes add this gorgeous crunch that regular cucumber tzatziki just cant match
  • It keeps for days in the fridge, making lunch prep almost too easy
02 -
  • The first time I made this, I skipped squeezing out the vegetable liquid and ended up with soup instead of dip, lesson learned
  • This actually tastes better the second day, so make it ahead if you are hosting
03 -
  • Use a box grater rather than a food processor for better texture control
  • Add the lemon juice gradually, different lemons have wildly different acidity levels
