Ingredients
- 1 cup Whole milk Greek yogurt
- 1 medium (or around 1/2 a cup) Cucumber peeled and grated
- 3 cloves Garlic grated
- 2-3 tbsp Fresh dill minced
- 2 tbsp Lemon juice (or the juice of one lemon)
- 1/2 tsp Salt
- 1/2 tsp Black pepper
- Optional: A drizzle of olive oil for garnish
Instructions
- Grate the cucumber and garlic using the finest setting on either your hand grater or food processor. I find that a zester works especially well for grating the garlic cloves. Then, use a tea towel or cheese cloth to squeeze as much of the liquid out of the cucumber as possible, and either discard the juice or save it for a different recipe.
- Mix all ingredients together in a medium bowl and top with a small drizzle of olive oil for a garnish.
- Serve as a dip, sauce, or even as a salad dressing!
