How to Make Easy Peasy Tzatziki

  1. Grate 1 medium cucumber and place in a fine-mesh sieve. Gently salt (1/2 teaspoon) and let sit for 10 minutes to draw out excess moisture.
  2. After 10 minutes, firmly squeeze the cucumber in the sieve to remove as much liquid as possible.
  3. In a medium bowl, combine 1 cup Greek yogurt, 2 cloves minced garlic, 2 tablespoons lemon juice, and the squeezed cucumber.
  4. Stir well to combine. Season generously with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste (start with 1/4 teaspoon of each).
  5. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour (or longer for more intense flavor) to allow flavors to meld.
  6. Serve chilled and enjoy! Garnish with fresh dill or mint (optional).
