2 Cups DF Greek Yogurt, or 2 small containers
2 Cucumbers, peeled, seeded & grated
½ Tsp Sea Salt
¼ Tsp White Pepper
2 Tbl Lemon Juice
2 Tbls Olive Oil
2 Cloves Garlic, minced, crushed

Line a fine strainer with a coffee filter and set over a bowl so that the bottom doesn’t touch. Grate the cucumbers and put into the lined strainer and refrigerate for 1 hour or longer.

When ready to prepare the Tzatziki, take out the strainer and discard any liquid in the bowl. Gently press the cucumbers to remove any excess liquid. In a medium bowl combine all of the remaining ingredients and add the yogurt and mix well. Gently fold in the grated cucumbers. Transfer to a serving dish and refrigerate until needed. Serve cold and store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator.

Pour the yogurt into the lined strainer and refrigerate overnight. When ready to prepare the Tzatziki, take out the strainer and discard any liquid in the bowl.
