Tzatziki
Prep Time
20 mins
Tzatziki is a delicious and relatively healthy dip, served in Greece with grilled meats. I also like it as a dip for bread. Use Greek yogurt for an authentic version.

Peel and then cut the cucumber in half lengthwise and use a teaspoon to scrape out the seeds.

Use the large-holed side of a cheese grater to shred the cucumber. Collect the shreds in a sieve and sprinkle with salt. Allow to drain for at least 15 minutes. Press the cucumber shreds against the side of the sieve to squeeze out additional water.
