Method
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook pasta according to package directions until al dente.
- Drain the pasta and immediately rinse under cold water to stop the cooking and remove starches. Set aside to drain completely.
- Grate half of the English cucumber. Place the grated cucumber in a clean towel and squeeze out as much water as possible.
- Slice the remaining half of the cucumber into half-moons and finely dice the red onion. Place in a large serving bowl.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the Greek yogurt, squeezed grated cucumber, minced garlic, olive oil, lemon juice, red wine vinegar, dill, parsley, salt, and pepper until smooth.
- Add the cooled pasta to the serving bowl with the sliced veggies. Pour the tzatziki dressing over the top and gently toss until everything is evenly coated.
- Chill in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour before serving to let flavors meld. Toss again before serving.
Notes
If the salad seems a bit dry the next day, stir in a splash of milk or an extra spoonful of Greek yogurt to bring back the creamy texture.
