Preparation : Peel the cucumber, cut in half lengthwise, and remove the seeds using the tip of a teaspoon.
Grate the cucumber roughly , using a cheese grater. If you don't have one suitable for rough grating, then finely chop the cucumber. Place the cucumber in a colander and add the salt. Let it strain for 15 minutes. While waiting for the cucumber to strain, put the yogurt in a large bowl and add the garlic. Stir, using either a tablespoon or a whisk. Slowly add the olive oil, while stirring, until the oil is incorporated into the yogurt. Do the same with the wine vinegar.
Put it in the fridge until all 15 minutes needed for straining the cucumber have passed. Next, squeeze the cucumber with your hands, to remove any excess water, and add it in the bowl with the yogurt mixture. Using a tablespoon, stir until it is combined. Add the dill and stir once more.
