For a nice variation, try adding 1/4 Tsp dried mint instead of or in addition to the cumin.

Definitely mint over cumin, never had cumin in a greek or mediterranean tzatziki.

Also, to make this properly, you need to thoroughly drain the yogurt, and then chill it. As is, there is too much moisture to reach the proper consistency.

Oh, and discard the cucumber seeds and innards, and press the cucumber through a strainer or chinois to remove additional moisture.
