Instructions
- 1
Slice the 2 large English cucumbers into rounds about 1/2 inch thick — you should get approximately 24 rounds total. Arrange them in a single layer on a cutting board or paper towels, sprinkle lightly with 1/4 tsp salt, and let them sit for 15 minutes to draw out excess moisture.

While the cucumber rounds rest, grate the half cucumber for the tzatziki on the large holes of a box grater, then gather it in a clean kitchen towel or several layers of paper towels and squeeze firmly until very little liquid remains.
