Tzatziki Sauce

  1. Place grated cucumber in a mesh colander and sprinkle with 1/2 tbsp salt to draw moisture out.
  2. Place a plate on top with something heavy to weigh it down and let sit for 30 minutes. Drain well.
  3. In a medium bowl add yogurt, cucumbers, garlic, lemon juice, dill and a dash of black pepper. Mix until well blended. Taste before adding any extra salt, then salt if needed. Place in refrigerator for at least two hours before serving so flavors can blend. Top chicken and enjoy!
