• 1 small cucumber
• salt

1. *Peel, seed and gate cucumber with cheese grater, large holes

2. You may skip this step, the Tzatziki will be a little runnier.  If it seems too runny just add a little more yogurt. Sprinkle some salt on the grated cucumber and put it aside to let it release water 15-20mins should be enough.

3. add all the ingredients to the yogurt and stir

4. let stand in the refrigerator for 1/2 hour to 1 hour and stir again before serving for best results.  It should keep in the refrigerator for several days

* Peeling, Seeding and Grating:

To peel a cucumber I find that a potato peeler work well.  Cutting off the ends of the cucumber give you a starting point for the peeler.  Once you have peeled it, cut the cucumber in half, length wise.  To seed it, simply use a spoon to spoon out the seeds, I find that run the spoon the length of the cucumber work very well.  Once you have complete these steps you should have two "U" shaped halves.  Run them one at a time over the large holes of a cheese grater and you're done.  By sprinkling some salt on the grated cucumber the water will leach out faster.  The more water you release the thicker the Tzatziki.

Note: Serve the same way you would serve regular Tzatziki, as a dip for vegetables, on pitas, with lamb, chicken or pork.  It makes a great salad dressing when added to a vinaigrette.
