Easy Greek Tzatziki Dip

This recipe is for the garlic lover, who wants to make traditional Greek tzatziki.

3 cups FAGE Greek yogurt (this brand is important for the taste and texture)
½-¾ English cucumber depending on size (these have the least amount of water and are the best)
½ bunch dill
4 cloves large garlic
1 tbsp olive oil
¼ tsp lemon zest
1 tbsp lemon juice (or more)
salt (to taste, extra salt to remove water from cucumbers)
pepper (to taste)

Peel and remove the seeds from the cucumber. Mince the cucumber and salt them. Squeeze out the water using a mesh strainer and a weight, or with a cheesecloth. The water must be squeezed out of the cucumbers because if this step is skipped your tzatziki will runny and last shorter.
Mince the garlic, chop the dill, zest the lemon and add them to the bowl with the cucumbers along with the yogurt, lemon juice, olive oil, salt, and pepper.
Mix it all together and adjust lemon juice, salt, and pepper to taste.
Chill and serve with some veggies, pita chips, or Greek Fries

Feel free to add more or less garlic, but note, as the tzatziki stands, the garlic flavor becomes stronger.
