Chef's Notes
Treat your cucumber with absolute respect by squeezing out every drop of excess moisture, otherwise your magnificent tzatziki dressing will turn into a watery tragedy.
Pro Tip
If you are pressed for time, prep your cucumber and let it sit in a fine-mesh strainer with a pinch of salt to pull out the liquid twice as fast.
Kitchen Catastrophe Warning
If you fail to squeeze the living daylights out of your grated cucumbers, you will inadvertently transform this majestic, thick-clinging chickpea salad into a depressing, watery soup that even the royal hounds would refuse to lap up from the floor.
The Jester's Corner
Royal Court Comedy
I asked the chef why we are serving beans in yogurt, and he told me it was 'deconstructed potato salad'—truly, the royal kitchen has officially lost its marbles.
The Culinary Science
Salting grated cucumber draws out water via osmosis, preventing the moisture from diluting the dairy proteins and keeping your dressing luxuriously thick.
