- For the tzatziki, place the diced cucumber in a food processor and pulse until finely chopped. In a mixing bowl, mix together the cucumber, yogurt, olive oil, lemon juice, and dill. Season with kosher salt and pepper to taste. Transfer to a serving bowl and refrigerate for at least an hour before serving.
