Instructions

Drain the grated cucumber by pressing down on it over fine mesh sieve over a bowl. Alternatively, you could use a nut milk bag or cheesecloth and gently squeeze until all the moisture is out.
Mix all the ingredients in a large mixing bowl until everything is well combined.
Let the mixture rest for a few minutes for the flavors to meld together. Taste test to see if you need to add any extra herbs, lemon juice, or salt.
Serve immediately or let it chill in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.

Notes

This recipe yields about 2 cups of tzatziki.
