Instructions

6 steps

1
Grate the English cucumber using the large holes of a box grater.

2
Place the grated cucumber in a fine-mesh sieve or the center of a clean kitchen towel. Sprinkle with 1/2 tsp salt and let sit for 10 minutes to draw out the water.
3
Vigorously squeeze the cucumber in the towel (or press down in the sieve) to extract as much liquid as absolutely possible. This is crucial for a thick tzatziki.
4
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the strained cucumber, Greek yogurt, minced garlic, olive oil, lemon juice, and fresh dill.
5
Stir the mixture until completely combined. Taste and adjust salt or lemon juice if necessary.
6
Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour before serving to allow the flavors to meld together.
