Peel the cucumber; grate in a food processor. Season with 1/2 t. kosher salt. Drain in a fine mesh strainer over a deep bowl. Spoon the grated cucumber into a cheese cloth or a double thickness napkin and squeeze dry. Set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, place garlic with remaining 1/2 t. salt, white vinegar and olive oil; mix to combine;
chill. Add grated cucumber to the large bowl with the garlic mixture; stir in yogurt and white pepper; combine thoroughly. Cover tightly; refrigerate for several hours.
When ready to serve, stir the tzatziki sauce to refresh; transfer to a serving bowl, drizzle with more extra virgin olive oil, if desired.
