Grate the cucumber on a cutting board using the large holes in a box grater. No need to peel and deseed the cucumber as the large seeds and pieces of skin won’t get into the middle of the grater. Grate the cucumber then spoon the part in the middle of the grater into a bowl with a towel. Gently press the water out of the grated cucumber and set aside.
1 cucumber
Add the greek yogurt, lemon juice, olive oil, minced garlic, dill, sea salt, and pepper to a bowl and gently stir to combine.
1 cup Greek yogurt, 1 lemon, 1 tablespoon olive oil, 3 cloves garlic, 1 tablespoon dill, ¼ teaspoon sea salt, ⅛ teaspoon pepper
Add the grated cucumber to the bowl and fold a few times to distribute.
Serve the tzatziki sauce in a bowl with crackers, veggies, or pita and enjoy!

Storage : Store the tzatziki in an airtight container in the fridge for up to a week.
