Tzatziki Sauce Recipe

• 1/2 medium English cucumber, peeled
• 7 ounces whole-milk Greek yogurt (scant 1 cup)
• 1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh cilantro
• 1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh mint leaves
• 1 teaspoon freshly squeezed lemon juice
• 1 medium garlic clove, finely chopped
• 1/4 teaspoon ground cumin

1. Grate the cucumber on the large holes of a box grater.
2. Run a knife over the grated cucumber until its fine in texture, but not totally minced.
3. Mound the cucumber in the center of a clean kitchen towel, then twist the towel to squeeze out as much moisture as you can.
4. Place the cucumber in a medium bowl.
5. Add the yogurt, herbs, lemon juice, garlic, and cumin, season with salt and pepper, and mix well.
6. Refrigerate for 1 hour or overnight to meld the flavors before serving.
