Ingredients

Step 3
Mix all ingredients in a large bowl.
Step 4
Garnish with additional dill leaves and a drizzle of olive oil.

Chef's notes

Leave some skin on the cucumber to add a bit of crunch and color to the final dish
Add salt directly to the grated cucumber to help extract its liquids and intensify their flavors.
The better the olive oil, the better the final product. When buying extra virgin olive oil, look closely to see the olives are only sourced from one location. Olive oils with olives sourced from multiple countries is usually a bad sign.
Leave the finished tzatziki in the refrigerator to allow the flavors to marry.
