Tzatziki
['3 Persian or 1/2 English hothouse cucumbers, cut into 1/4-inch pieces', 'Kosher salt', '1 cup plain whole-milk Greek yogurt', '3 tablespoons olive oil', '2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice', '1 garlic clove, lightly crushed', '1/4 cup chopped mint']

Toss cucumbers with a few generous pinches of salt in a small bowl; firmly squeeze several times with your hands to release excess water. Drain.
Mix cucumbers, yogurt, oil, lemon juice, and garlic in a medium bowl; season with salt. Let sit at room temperature until tzatziki tastes garlicky, 15–20 minutes; discard garlic. Stir in mint just before serving.
Tzatziki (without mint) can be made 3 days ahead. Cover and chill.
