Step 1

Grate the Cucumber: Use a food processor or box grater to grate or finely chop the cucumber.

Step 2

Remove Excess Moisture: Sprinkle the grated cucumber with salt and place it in a thick, lint-free dish towel or clean cheesecloth. Gather the edges to form a bundle and squeeze out as much moisture as possible. Note: Cucumbers have a lot of water, which can make the sauce watery.

Step 3

Rest and Mix: Let the grated cucumber rest for a few minutes to release more moisture. Meanwhile, in a medium-sized bowl, mix the grated garlic, lemon juice, olive oil, Greek yogurt, and chopped dill. Tip: Use a fine grater or the small side of a box grater to grate the garlic.

Step 4

Combine: Stir the grated cucumber into the yogurt mixture.

Step 5

Serve: Enjoy the tzatziki immediately or chill it for later. Tip: Drizzle a bit of olive oil on top before eating for extra flavor.
