In a small mixing bowl, combine Greek yogurt, 3 tablespoons of the grated cucumber, two tablespoons lemon juice, garlic, mint, and dried oregano. Season with Kosher salt. Taste and adjust seasonings (add more lemon juice, etc.) as desired.
for the Israeli Salad
- Combine all ingredients in a small mixing bowl and season with Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper.
