Ingredients

1½ cups Greek yogurt
½ large English cucumber, grated (about 7 ounces)
2 tablespoons fresh dill, finely chopped
2 teaspoons minced garlic
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 tablespoon lemon juice
½ teaspoon salt
pinch black pepper

Instructions

Grate the cucumber. Using a box grater, grate the cucumber into small shreds.
Strain the cucumber juice. Add the shredded cucumber to a mesh strainer, nut milk bag, cheesecloth, or a few layered paper towels, and gently squeeze out any excess water.
Combine the ingredients. Add all of the ingredients to a mixing bowl and stir to combine.
Let it rest, then serve. You can serve this sauce right away, but I recommend letting the sauce rest for an hour in the refrigerator to allow the flavors to meld together. Serve with a drizzle of olive oil, additional salt, and a sprinkle of dill.

Notes

This recipe yields about 2 cups of tzatziki.
