Grate the cucumber using the coarse side of a box grater. Squeeze out as much liquid as possible, then add the cucumber to a bowl with the yogurt.

Crush the garlic cloves with a garlic press. If you don’t have one, grate them using the fine side of a grater, then add to the yogurt.

Add the remaining ingredients and mix well. Adjust the quantities to taste if desired.

Refrigerate for 1-2 hours to let the flavors blend, then serve.

Tip: It’s best to let the tzatziki rest before adding more garlic, as the garlic flavor will become stronger after sitting for a while.
