Preparation

  1. 1

    Grate the Cucumber

    Wash the cucumber thoroughly, then grate it using a box grater or a food processor. After grating, place it in a clean kitchen towel and squeeze out excess moisture to prevent the tzatziki from becoming watery.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Garlic

    Peel the garlic cloves and mince them finely using a knife or a garlic press.

  3. 3

    Chop the Dill

    Finely chop the fresh dill leaves.

Mixing

  1. 4

    Combine Ingredients

    In a medium bowl, combine the grated cucumber, Greek yogurt, minced garlic, chopped dill, crumbled feta cheese, olive oil, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper.

  2. 5

    Mix Well

    Stir all the ingredients together until they are well combined and the mixture is smooth.

Chilling

  1. 6

    Refrigerate

    Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or a lid, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
