Prepare the Cucumber
Wash the cucumber thoroughly. Grate the cucumber using a box grater or food processor. After grating, place the cucumber in a clean kitchen towel and squeeze out excess moisture until dry.

Mince the Garlic
Peel the garlic cloves and mince them finely using a knife or garlic press. This will help release their flavor into the tzatziki.
