Step 1
Peel the cucumber and slice it in half lengthwise.
Step 2
Use a spoon to scrape out the seeds, then grate the cucumber using a box grater.
Step 3
Place the shredded cucumber in a clean tea towel or cheesecloth and squeeze out as much liquid as possible. This prevents a watery tzatziki.
Step 4
In a medium mixing bowl, stir together the drained Greek yogurt, shredded cucumber, salt, minced garlic, olive oil, and lemon.
Step 5
Mix until well combined.
Step 6
Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before serving.
Step 7
Top with dill, and optionally additional olive oil when serving.
Step 8
Serve as a dip for pita bread, grilled meats, or fresh vegetables.
Step 9
Store leftover tzatziki in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
