Since you grate the cucumber in tzatziki, you can use frozen if you make sure to drain it very well after it's thawed and grated. It would also be good to put the thawed, grated cucumber into a paper towel and squeeze as much water as possible out of it. If you don't it will make the tzatziki too thin.
