Honestly, it's 10 times better than the store-bought stuff — and a trip to the store would take 10 times as long.
Florence Pugh’s Favorite Dip Only Requires 6 Ingredients And 6 Minutes, And After Trying It Myself, I’m Totally Obsessed
Don’t Worry Darling is finally hitting theaters in less than two weeks, and I’m stoked to see one of my favorite actors, Florence Pugh, as the lead. And while the film’s been through a hell of a news cycle due to an alleged feud between the Academy Award–nominated actor and director Olivia Wilde, I’ve been busy re-creating recipes Florence showed off on her Instagram Live earlier in the pandemic ahead of the film’s premiere.
Florence Pugh / Pernell Quilon / Via Instagram: @florencepughSTEP #1: First, start by dumping your yogurt into a bowl. Florence was so specific about using full-fat Greek yogurt — “This is not the time to diet, people,” the actor teased! I usually go dairy-free, since the same genes that gave me my face gave me a mild lactose intolerance…but I had no plans to leave my place anyway. So, I dumped the dairy curd (yogurt) into a bowl that I’d store the finished dip in for easier cleanup.
Pernell Quilon / Florence Pugh / Via Instagram: @florencepughIf you’d like to use a bigger size of yogurt, you totally can! Florence picked out this size since she rode a bike to the grocery store (so European of her, I love it) and wanted to pack light. I bought the exact same size and brand because there is not one original thought in my American brain.
Pernell Quilon / Florence Pugh / Via Instagram: @florencepughSTEP #2: Next, add lots of olive oil to the yogurt. I just put in like two glugs (about 2–3 tablespoons), though honestly, the world is only going to get hotter — just add more oil!
Pernell Quilon / Florence Pugh / Via Instagram: @florencepughSTEP #3: Add a little bit of salt and a lot of pepper. Of course, you can adjust and season to your liking once you taste the final product. For now, though, follow Miss Flo’s instructions!
Pernell Quilon / Florence Pugh / Via Instagram: @florencepughSTEP #4: Cut a portion of the cucumber, since we won’t be using the whole pre-pickled dill — all you need is about six inches! Grate your cut cucumber directly into your mixture of yogurt, oil, salt, and pepper.
Pernell Quilon / Florence Pugh / Via Instagram: @florencepughAnd honestly, you probably don’t need six inches — nobody ever does. Use less.
Here’s what mine looked like. I thought it was too much cucumber (and perhaps it was), but it didn’t negatively affect the dip at all. In fact, I enjoyed the extra texture.
Pernell QuilonSTEP #5: Take 1–3 cloves of garlic, depending on your liking, and grate on the finest side of your grater directly into the bowl until unable to safely continue. Don’t throw away the nubs — dice them and throw those bits in as well. Unfortunately, my grater was crap, so I angrily diced all of my garlic. Ugh.
Pernell Quilon / Florence Pugh / Via Instagram: @florencepughI like garlic, so I used three cloves. Florence feels the same about garlic and at first used two cloves, then snuck in an extra at the end. “If you don’t leave the meal with fire breath, was the meal even worth happening?” She used two.
Not everyone’s a Florence in the kitchen. For comparison, here’s Miss Flo effortlessly chopping garlic ends — cool, calm, and collected. Then there’s me, slapping garlic with a knife! I mocked Kendall Jenner for struggling to slice a cucumber, but I had no business laughing then — look how pissed I was dicing garlic here. At least Kendall’s rich. What’s my excuse?
STEP #6: Finally, mix it all together and you’ll end up with the best of both worlds. Oh, and a bowl of homemade tzatziki! Now, give it a taste and season more to your liking.
Pernell Quilon / Florence Pugh / Via Instagram: @florencepughThe best thing about any dip, this tzatziki included, is that you can customize it to your liking. Florence added an extra clove of garlic after initially using only two. I ended up adding more salt and a whole lot more pepper to mine. So, go nuts. And if you used a larger size Greek yogurt, you’ll definitely need to experiment to find your ideal tzatziki taste.
Pernell QuilonAnd here’s the done dip! On the top is Florence’s tzatziki, and the bottom is mine — I feel like mine came out pretty great.
Florence Pugh / Pernell Quilon / Via Instagram: @florencepughSo, how’s it taste? This was my first time trying tzatziki, and I was excited to be giving an unbiased opinion. Truthfully…it’s a pretty mellow dip. It’s creamy, fresh, and with a cool taste that is far from overpowering or aggressive — I feel like that’s the Greek yogurt. Meanwhile, the olive oil lent an earthiness to the dip, and the three cloves of garlic in my dip gave it a slight spice. Overall, the dip is light and filling, and the grated cucumber gives it some needed texture. Even though it’s a subtle flavor, that’s kind of why I couldn’t stop dipping my clean finger in the bowl — it goes with almost everything, and it’s even good alone!
Florence, you did it again.
I let my homemade tzatziki sit in the fridge overnight and then taste-tested it the following day against a store-bought tzatziki. Though the store-bought dip did pack in more flavor, I found it to be a bit too aggressive. It may have been tangier than Florence’s, but it was also overly salty and lacked the mellow flavor I loved so much in the homemade version. In the end, I preferred Flo’s. And it was even better after sitting in the fridge. It had time to thicken. The flavor was exactly to my liking, and that’s the beauty of cooking at home.
Pernell QuilonThis tzatziki is a winner to me. It only took six ingredients to make, and it can be ready in less than six minutes. It’s such a versatile dip, as shown with Florence’s suggested pairings. I’m excited to bring my Florence-approved tzatziki to my next neighbor hangout, along with some cheese and meats!

Oh, and Florence danced with her homemade tzatziki! Here’s me doing the same — we’re just two gals enjoying our dip.
What do y’all think of Florence’s tzatziki? If you whipped up your own version, how did it come out? And what’s your guess at which Florence dish I’ll be copycatting next on “Cooking with You, Me, and Florence Pugh?” Let me know in the comments.
