Make the tzatziki: grate the cucumber on the large holes of a box grater, then gather it in a clean kitchen towel and squeeze firmly until most of the liquid is gone. In a medium bowl, stir together the yogurt, squeezed cucumber, 1 minced garlic clove, 1 tbsp olive oil, lemon juice, dill, and 1/4 tsp salt until combined. Refrigerate until ready to serve.
