I really like this - thanks Kate. I used goat yogurt and opted to finely chop the cucumber instead of grating it (I find it still ends up less watery this way...in any tzatziki recipe). Just remember to set your yogurt to drain the night before and then this goes together in a snap! Very fresh & tasty.
