Tzatziki

INSTRUCTIONS

• 1
  Finely grate the cucumber* into a small bowl, salt it, and let it stand for 8–10 minutes until the salt releases excess water.
• 2
  Meanwhile, finely chop the mint and dill, then peel and press the garlic. Place the chopped mint, dill, and pressed garlic into a medium-sized bowl.
• 3
  After the specified time, squeeze the grated cucumber and add it to the bowl with the mint, dill, and garlic. Then add the yogurt to the bowl and mix everything. Add salt and lemon juice to the mixture to taste and mix again.
• 4
  Serve the finished tzatziki immediately.

  * You don't necessarily have to grate the cucumber. You can simply cut it into small cubes (approx. 0.5 cm × 0.5 cm), salt it, let it release water, and then use it in the same way as described in the instructions.
