Method:

1. Place the garlic, olive oil and
lemon juice in a mixing bowl
and set it aside.

2. Peel the cucumber, or leave
the skin on if you prefer. Grate
the cucumber coarsely and
place it in a sieve in the sink.
Sprinkle salt on top and leave
to stand for half an hour to
drain, then use your hands
to squeeze out the juice. The
cucumber should be as dry as
possible to prevent the tzatziki
from becoming watery.

3. Place the yoghurt in a
mixing bowl and stir in the
mint. Add the garlic, olive
oil and lemon juice mixture.
Season with freshly ground
black pepper and salt to taste.
Refrigerate until required.
