Directions
Step 1
Wash and dry the cucumber. Peel it if desired, then grate it using a box grater.
Step 2
Place the grated cucumber in a clean kitchen towel or cheesecloth and squeeze out as much excess water as possible. This step is key to avoid a watery dip.

Finely chop the fresh dill and mince the garlic clove. Add them to the mixing bowl along with the lemon juice, salt, and black pepper.
Step 5
Add the prepared cucumber to the bowl and gently fold it into the mixture until evenly distributed.
Step 6
Taste the dip and adjust the seasoning as needed, adding more salt, pepper, or lemon juice to suit your preference.
Step 7
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate the dip for at least 30 minutes to let the flavors meld together.
Step 8
Before serving, give the dip a final stir and garnish with a sprinkle of fresh dill if desired.
Step 9
Serve with sliced vegetables, pita bread, crackers, or as a topping for grilled meats or fish.
