Method

Grate the cucumber on the coarse side of a grater, then squeeze it firmly in a clean cloth to remove as much water as possible.
Mix the Greek yoghurt with the grated, squeezed cucumber in a bowl.
Add the crushed garlic, olive oil, vinegar or lemon juice and salt, and stir well until smooth.
Add the chopped dill or mint and stir gently.
Cover the sauce and chill for at least 1 hour before serving so the flavours can meld; serve cold with pita bread or as a side with souvlaki.
