How should I prepare the cucumber for tzatziki?
I love grating the cucumber for this sauce. Grating the cucumber will leave both fine cucumber pieces and juice to flavor the yogurt.
Prep ahead tips
Tzaziki sauce can be made up to 4 days ahead and kept in an airtight container in the refrigerator. Make sure to give it a good stir before serving it again.
