Notes
- Using English Cucumber vs. American Cucumbers is the way to go. They have fewer seeds, hold less water, and are sweeter compared to their American counterparts.
- It's important to squeeze as much water out of the grated cucumber as possible. This will ensure that you don't have a runny tzatziki sauce.
- Allowing the sauce to chill in the fridge for at least 2 hours gives the flavors of the tzatziki to meld. Plus, It's much better when it's served cold.
