Important Notes
Make sure to use strained Greek yogurt because its thicker consistency prevents the tzatziki from becoming watery.
Thoroughly removing the seeds and spinning the moisture out of the grated cucumber is the key to achieving a thick, creamy texture.
Letting the tzatziki rest in the refrigerator for a few hours or overnight allows the garlic, dill, and yogurt flavors to marry and taste much better.
