You'd be surprised at how hard it is to grate a cucumber! Be sure to let the cucumber drain well. In addition to draining the cucumber, I place it on paper towels and soaked up even more water. The recipe was easy to follow and it tasted like what I recall from Mediterranean restaurants. I used it as an accompaniment to a braised lamb dish - yummo!

I love Tzataiki!!! This is very similar to how I've always made it. I use vinegar instead of the lemon juice though and eliminate the pepper. Very, very good!!! Thanks for posting this, Brittney!
