In a large mixing bowl, combine 1-1/2 cup of yoghurt, oil, lemon juice, zest, garlic.

Grate roughly half of your cucumber, until you have a half cup of 'shredded' cucumber. Dice the remaining portion, toss with salt and set into a colander. This will allow any extra moisture to escape from the cucumber, and result in a 'crunchier' bite. (Let sit for about 5 minutes.)

Thoroughly rinsing the salt from the cucumber. Tossing in colander until mostly drained. Adding in the grated and diced cucumber into the yoghurt mixture.
