Tzatziki and Assembly
  1. Make the tzatziki by grating the cucumber, then pressing out excess water using a clean kitchen towel or cheesecloth. In a medium bowl, combine Greek yogurt, grated cucumber, lemon juice, minced garlic, and chopped dill. Season with salt and pepper. Refrigerate until ready to serve.
