- Once grated, place the cucumber in a fine-mesh sieve or cheesecloth over a bowl and sprinkle with a little salt.
- Let the cucumber sit for about 10-15 minutes to allow excess moisture to drain out.
- Afterward, squeeze the cucumber in your hands or press down with a spoon to remove as much liquid as possible.

Combine ingredients
- In a mixing bowl, combine the grated cucumber, Greek yogurt, minced garlic, extra virgin olive oil, lemon juice, and chopped dill.
- Stir well to ensure all ingredients are evenly incorporated.
- Taste the mixture and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper according to your preference.
-
Chill and serve
- Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or transfer the tzatziki to an airtight container.
- Refrigerate for at least 1 hour to allow the flavors to meld together.
- Before serving, give the tzatziki a quick stir and taste again for any additional seasoning adjustments.
- Serve chilled tzatziki sauce as a dip for pita bread, veggies, or as a condiment for gyros, souvlaki, or grilled meats.
