Tzatziki Recipe

•  1 small cucumber 
•  1  cups plain Greek yogurt whole milk (340g)
•  1 clove garlic grated or minced
•  2 tablespoons chopped fresh dill and/or mint
•  1 tablespoon olive oil
•  1 teaspoon lemon juice
•     1/2 teaspoon salt
•   1/4 teaspoon ground pepper

1. Grate the cucumber on the largest holes of a box grater. (You can peel it if you like, but it is  not necessary.) 
2. Place it onto a lint-free kitchen towel and wring out as much moisture as  possible.
3. In a medium bowl, stir to combine the cucumber, yogurt, garlic, dill and/or mint, olive oil,  lemon juice, salt, and pepper. 
4. Add more lemon juice and salt, to taste.
5. Transfer to a serving bowl and garnish with more olive oil, black pepper, and more chopped fresh dill or mint, if you like. 

Serve alongside warm pita and vegetable if you have time, let the tzatziki chill for at least 1 hour before serving. This will allow  time for the garlic and herbs to infuse in the yogurt for a more flavorful tzatziki.
