Ingredients
1 long English cucumber, unpeeled and grated
500g plain Greek yogurt
3–4 garlic cloves, crushed or finely minced
1 tsp cumin
2 Tbsp finely chopped fresh dill, plus more for garnish
1 Tbsp freshly squeezed lemon juice
1 Tbsp olive oil, plus more for garnish
Salt and pepper to season
(I find tzatziki needs a good amount of salt to bring out the best flavours, start with 1 tsp, adding more to taste)
Instructions
Put grated cucumber in a colander and allow to drain for at least 30 minutes. Gently squeeze with hands or in a clean towel to remove excess moisture. Place drained cucumber in a bowl, add all the other ingredients; stir to combine.
Refrigerate for a minimum of two hours to allow flavours to develop
