Notes
Note 1: To prevent the sauce from becoming too watery, drain the grated cucumber on paper towels before adding it to the mixture.
Note 2: Allow the flavors to meld by refrigerating the sauce for 30 minutes before serving.
Storage: Leftover sauce can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. I don't recommend freezing the tzatziki.
