Tzatziki (greek Cucumber-yogurt Sauce)

Tip: click step to get into cook mode

1 large or 3 small cucumbers (about 8 – 10 oz)

1 cup plain Greek yogurt, I like the Fage 5%

1 clove garlic, minced

3 tablespoons minced herbs, such as mint and/or dill

1.5 tablespoons fresh-squeeze lemon juice (from about ½ a lemon)

½ teaspoon kosher salt

Grate the cucumber coarsely on a box grater. Transfer to a sieve and set over a bowl to drain. Squeeze the cucumber a little bit to encourage the moisture to drain out. Let drain for at least 5 minutes.
In a medium bowl, stir the cucumber into the yogurt, along with the garlic, herbs, lemon, and salt. Taste. Adjust with more salt and lemon to taste.
