Salt the cucumber
Toss grated cucumber with salt and leave in a sieve for 15 minutes.

Thick lactose-free yoghurt, hand-grated cucumber, lemon, dill and garlic-infused oil. Cool, sharp and deliberately not blended into wallpaper paste.

Proper tzatziki gets its body from draining the cucumber, not gums or thickeners. Squeeze it hard, then fold it through the yoghurt so visible cucumber texture remains.
