    In the meantime, prepare the tzatziki. Finely chop the mint and dill. Then take a smaller bowl, grate the cucumber into it on a fine grater, salt it, and wait 5⁠–⁠8 minutes for the cucumber to release water due to the salt. Meanwhile, peel 1 clove of garlic, press it into a medium-sized bowl, and add the chopped mint, dill, and plain yogurt. After the specified time, squeeze the excess water from the grated cucumber, add the cucumber to the bowl along with lemon juice and salt, mix the entire contents of the bowl, and place the bowl with tzatziki in the refrigerator for now.
