Ingredients:  
½ English cucumber, peeled
16 oz (2 cups) Cold plain Greek yogurt (either full fat or fat free will work)

⅛ tsp black pepper
Directions:
Directions:
The Cucumber should be peeled, finely diced and strained of it's juices. I squeezed it really tight by the fistful or in a cheese cloth.

Getting rid of excess juice is important so that you tzatziki sauce isn't watery the next day.

Combine the strained and chopped cucumber with 2 cups plain Greek yogourt, 1½ Tbsp lemon juice, 4 minced garlic cloves, ⅓ cup chopped dill, ½ tsp salt (add more to taste) and ⅛ tsp black pepper.

Mix everything together and add more salt to taste if needed. It's best to refrigerate for about 1 hour before serving to let the flavors meld. It tastes even better when refrigerated overnight!
