Ingredients: Greek yogurt 0% (16oz), one cucumber, 3 cloves of garlic, sea salt, fresh ground pepper, milk.
Grade the cucumber into a strainer. Pour on a small handful of sea salt and let it sit for 30 minutes. Wash out the salt under cold running water. The cucumber needs to be a little salty still. Put the cucumber on a clean dish towel, fold up the towel and squeeze the water out.
Peal and mash the garlic cloves with the side of your knife. Chop them very finely. Mix yogurt, cucumber and garlic in a bowl. Add fresh ground pepper and (maybe) salt for flavor. Remember since the cucumber is already salty you will have to taste your way. If you want a runnier texture of the tzatziki you can add a little bit of milk slowly while stirring until you get the desired result.
The tzatziki is great with ANY grilled meat - beef, chicken, turkey, pork.
TIP: The Greek yogurt is a great dessert with fresh cut fruit (pineapple, peaches, mango etc) and honey. Most places does not carry Acacia honey but regular clover honey will do just fine.
