Classic Cucumber Tzatziki

Steps

  1. Grate the cucumber on the large holes of a box grater, toss it with 1/4 teaspoon of the salt and let it sit in a strainer to release its water.
  2. Gather the cucumber in a clean towel and squeeze hard over the sink until no more water drips out.
  3. Stir the cucumber, yogurt, garlic, lemon juice, olive oil, dill, mint and remaining salt together in a bowl.
  4. Cover and refrigerate so the garlic mellows into the yogurt, then drizzle with a little oil before serving.
