Directions:
1. Peel the cucumber. Reserve a little to use as a garnish if you choose to cut the rest in half lenthwise. Remove the seeds with a teaspoon and discard. Slice the cucumber thinly and combine with salt. Leave for approximately 15-20 minutes. Salt will soften the cucumber and draw out any bitter juices.
2. Combine the mint, garlic, sugar, and yogurt in a bowl, reserving a few sprigs of mint as decoration.
3. Rinse the cucumber in a strainer under cold running water to remove the salt. Drain well and combine with the yogurt. Decorate with cucumber and mint. Serve cold. Tzatziki is traditionally garnished with paprika.
