Prepare all ingredients as noted. Gently press the juice from the shredded cucumber and discard.

Mix together the greek yogurt, shredded cucumber, lemon juice, minced garlic, dill, salt and pepper.

If able, chill the tzatziki in the fridge for an hour or so, letting the garlic and other flavors meld together more fully.

Serve chilled, with pita bread or a main course like these Greek Chicken Bowls!
