Instructions
- Mix the grated cucumber with the salt and place it in a fine mesh sieve or cheesecloth over a bowl to let the moisture drain from it, 15-30 minutes.
- While the cucumber is draining, mix together strained yogurt, lemon juice, olive oil, crushed garlic, and dill.
- Squeeze any remaining moisture from the cucumber to get it nice and dry, then mix it into the yogurt mixture.
- The tzatziki can be served immediately, but the flavors are best if it is allowed to set for 1-2 hours in the refrigerator. The sauce will last 1-2 days in the fridge.
