Ingredients
- 3 mini cucumbers or 1 English cucumber
- 1 cup thick, plain yogurt
- ¼ cup minced mint
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1-2 cloves garlic grated with a microplane
- ¼ teaspoon sea salt
Instructions
- Grate the cucumbers using the small holes on your grater then squeeze as much liquid from the grated cucumbers as possible. This is done easiest by picking up a small pile, holding it over the sink, and squeezing it hard with your hands.
- Put the grated cucumber into a bowl and add the remaining ingredients to the bowl.
- Mix well then let the tzatziki rest for at least half an hour for the flavors to blend together.
