Ingredients
- 1 medium-sized (about 1 cup grated) Cucumber
- 1 cup Greek yogurt
- 2 tablespoons (finely chopped) Fresh dill
- 1 tablespoon (freshly squeezed) Lemon juice
- 1 clove (minced) Garlic
- 1 teaspoon Olive oil
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon (freshly ground) Black pepper
Directions
Step 1
Wash and peel the cucumber. If preferred, you can leave the skin on for added texture and color.
Step 2
Grate the cucumber using a box grater or food processor. Place the grated cucumber into a clean kitchen towel or several layers of paper towels, and squeeze out excess moisture. This step prevents the sauce from becoming watery.
Step 3
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the Greek yogurt, grated cucumber, finely chopped dill, lemon juice, minced garlic, and olive oil.
Step 4
Stir the mixture until everything is well combined and smooth.
Step 5
Season the sauce with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste. Adjust the seasoning if needed.
Step 6
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate the sauce for at least 15-30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
Step 7
Serve the cucumber dill sauce chilled as a dip for vegetables, a topping for grilled salmon or chicken, or a spread for sandwiches and wraps.
