Tzatziki is the perfect, cool yogurt accompaniment for a chicken souvlaki pita or even a great dip for veggies.
Grate the cucumber Using a box grater, grate the cucumber. You do not need to peel or de-seed the cucumber if you are using an english cucumber.
Strain the water from the cucumber Place the grated cucumber into a small strainer over a bowl. Let the cucumber sit for approximately 10 minutes.
Using a spoon or a rubber spatula, press down on the cucumber as it sits to help the moisture drain out. The cucumber will start to come together like a ball, with little moisture left.
Mix all the ingredients in a mixing bowl. You can eat it right away, but the longer you let it sit in the refrigerator, the better!
