Zubereitung von Tzatziki Cucumber Dipping Sauce

Line a sieve with two layers of dampened cheesecloth. Spoon in 2 cups of Greek yogurt and set the sieve over a bowl. Refrigerate for 2-3 hours, or until the yogurt has reduced by about half and is thick and creamy.
While the yogurt thickens, prepare the cucumber: Shred or finely julienne 1 medium cucumber (about 1 cup).
Place the shredded cucumber in a colander. Sprinkle generously with 1 teaspoon of salt, toss well, and let drain for at least 30 minutes to an hour. This removes excess moisture.
Rinse the cucumber under cold water and gently pat it dry with paper towels.
In a mortar and pestle, muddle 2 cloves of garlic with a pinch of salt until fragrant.
In a medium bowl, combine the thickened yogurt, drained cucumber, muddled garlic, 2 tablespoons of fresh lemon juice, 2 tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil, and salt and pepper to taste.
Stir in 2 tablespoons of chopped fresh mint (optional).
Mix well to combine all ingredients.
Taste and adjust seasonings as needed. Serve immediately or refrigerate for 1-2 days to allow the flavors to meld. Stir gently before serving and garnish with additional fresh mint leaves, if desired.
