Step 1

Prepare the cucumber: Use a grater to grate the cucumber in a small bowl. Add 1/4 tsp of salt to it and mix, then let it sit for about 10 to 15 minutes. This will help draw out the water from the cucumber, so that we don't end up with a watery tzatziki sauce. I usually place it in a bowl over paper towels or cheese cloth, then squeeze the liquid out of it, this way you don't end up with a watery tzatziki.

Step 2

Mix everything together: In a medium size bowl, combine the yogurt with the cayenne pepper, minced garlic, lemon juice, dill, salt, pepper and cucumber. Stir everything well and adjust with salt and pepper as necessary.

Step 3

Chill then serve: Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours before serving.
