Dice the cucumber into small cubes and place them in a strainer over a bowl.
Dicing the cucumber into small, even pieces ensures a consistent texture in the tzatziki.
Sprinkle the cucumber with salt and let it sit for 30 minutes to draw out excess moisture.
This step is crucial to prevent the tzatziki from becoming watery.
Pat the cucumber dry with a paper towel to remove any remaining moisture.
Ensure the cucumber is thoroughly dried for the best consistency.
In a bowl, combine the cucumber, minced garlic, Greek yogurt, and chopped dill.
Mix gently to maintain the texture of the cucumber.
Taste and adjust the seasoning with additional salt if needed.
Taste-testing ensures the flavors are balanced to your preference.
Refrigerate the tzatziki for at least 1 hour before serving to allow the flavors to meld.
Chilling enhances the flavor and texture of the tzatziki.
Serve the tzatziki with your choice of accompaniments, such as pita bread or fresh vegetables.
Garnish with a sprig of dill or a drizzle of olive oil for a beautiful presentation.
