Method:

Toss cucumber and salt and set aside for 30 minutes. Drain, transfer to a clean kitchen towel, and squeeze out as much moisture as possible. Combine with yogurt, olive oil, herbs, garlic, and salt, pepper, and hot pepper flakes; refrigerate for at least 1 hour before serving.

Set out all the ingredients and invite hungry diners to stuff pita pockets to suit their tastes.
