Notes

I like to use the long English cucumber and peel it. You can use whatever type of cucumber you like and leave the skin on if you prefer, it's personal preference.

I prefer to make the tzatziki sauce the morning I am planning on serving it and let it sit in the refrigerator, I think it tastes better after it has sat for a few hours.
