Authentic Tzatziki sauce

Ingredients
- 1 kg (~35 oz) greek/strained yoghurt
- 50 to 100 ml (~1.5 to 3.5 oz) good quality olive oil. More oil makes it rich, less oil if you want it lighter.
- 1 to 1.5 cucumber, depending on the size
- 2 to 4 cloves of garlic, depending on taste
- 2 tpsb of lemon juice/white balsamico
- generous amount of dill, ½ to a whole bunch. The usage of dill is optional. Even in Greece, it is used primarily by the northern regions (Thessaloniki) whereas the South (Athens) doesn't include any dill in their recipes.
- Salt & pepper
Steps
- Grate the cucumber, put it in a sieve and put some salt on it. Mix and press against the sieve, so the water can get squeezed out. Let it rest in the sink for 30 minutes, as the salt will release even more liquid from the cucumber.
- Mince the garlic and mix with the yoghurt. Add the cucumber, the oil, only one tpsb of lemon and mix again. Taste and put more oil or lemon juice if needed.
- Chop the dill finely, add it and put a sprinkle of salt (if needed) and pepper.
- Once you make it, you can always adjust the next time. The tzatziki should easily last 5 to 7 days, provided that the garlic isn't too old
