1. Prepare the Cucumber: Grate the cucumber and squeeze out the excess water using a clean kitchen towel or paper towels. This step is important to prevent the tzatziki from becoming too watery
2. Mix the Ingredients: In a bowl, combine the Greek yogurt, grated cucumber, minced garlic, olive oil, chopped dill, and lemon juice. Mix well until all the ingredients are evenly incorporated
3. Season: Add salt and pepper to taste. Adjust the seasoning as needed
4. Chill: Cover the bowl and refrigerate the tzatziki for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together
5. Serve: Serve the tzatziki chilled, garnished with a drizzle of olive oil and a sprinkle of fresh dill. It's perfect with pita bread, fresh vegetables, or as a side to grilled meats
