Tzatziki Sauce

1 cup cucumber, unpeeled and shredded

1 cup greek yogurt/ hung curd

1 tablespoon lemon juice

2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil + some more to garnish

1 teaspoon dill (if you don't have dill you can use mint or rosemary)

1 teaspoon salt or as preferred

Pinch of pepper powder

Sprinkle a pinch of salt onto the shredded cucumber.

Let it sit for a few minutes then lightly squeeze the cucumber between your palms to remove excess water/moisture. (You can also use a cheesecloth or paper towel to draw out the moisture.)

In a deep bowl, add yogurt, olive oil, lemon juice, dill, salt, and pepper powder. And mix well.

Now add in cucumber and mix until well combined.

Keep it in the refrigerator for 1 hour.

Serve chilled with pita, falafel, or your favorite veggies.
