Tzatziki (Greek Yogurt and Cucumber Sauce)


1 cucumber, peeled, seeded and grated
1 teaspoon salt for salting cucumbers
1 Tablespoon fresh lemon juice
1 garlic clove minced
1 1/2 cups Greek Yogurt (thicker then regular)

Mix grated cucumber and salt together then place in a strainer in the fridge for 2 hours. remove and squeeze out additional liquid with the back of a spoon
Mix everything except yogurt in food processor until well blended, then stir this mixture into the yogurt. Tzatziki is better "aged" a little to let the flavors mingle.
