De-seed and grate your cucumber. Put it in a colander over a bowl and sprinkle with salt.

Let it sit on the counter for at least 2 hours, occasionally pushing out the excess water.

To strain the cucumber:

When you’re ready to make the sauce: squeeze out all excess water from cucumber by pushing it out while in the colander. Then get some thick paper towels, put cucumber in them and ring it out.

Tzatziki Sauce Recipe

Cucumber cucumbers cucumber

Salt fine (, more or less to taste)

Greek Yogurt plain

Lemon juice tastes best

tbsp mint freshly chopped (, spearmint)

Garlic

tsp Ground Black Pepper more or less to taste

Peel the cucumber and cut it in half lengthwise. Remove seeds, if necessary. Usually, with an English cucumber, this is not needed. Shred into a bowl using the large holes of the box grater [paid link].

Transfer the cucumber to the wire mesh sieve and toss with the salt. Hang the sieve back over the bowl and allow it to drain for 30 minutes. The salt draws out excess moisture leaving the concentrated flavor of the cucumber. You can skip this step, however, this may result in tzatiki sauce that is runny from the excess water.

Once the allotted time has passed, squeeze the cucumbers with your hands or wrapped in a tea towel to remove any additional water and transfer them to a medium bowl. Add the Greek yogurt, lemon juice, mint, garlic paste, and ground black pepper. Mix well. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes or up to 2 days for the flavors to meld.
