Ingredients

• 1 medium Cucumber
• 0.5 cup Plain Greek yogurt
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
• 2 tablespoons Fresh dill
• 1 small Garlic clove
• 1 teaspoon Honey
• 0.25 teaspoon Ground black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Peel the cucumber and slice it in half lengthwise. Use a spoon to scoop out the seeds.

Step 2

Grate the seeded cucumber using a box grater and set it aside. If the cucumber is very juicy, you can gently squeeze out some of the excess moisture using a clean kitchen towel.

Step 3

In a blender or food processor, combine the grated cucumber, Greek yogurt, olive oil, lemon juice, fresh dill, garlic clove, honey, and ground black pepper.

Step 4

Blend the mixture until smooth and creamy.

Step 5

Taste the dressing and adjust the seasoning if needed by adding more lemon juice for tanginess or a touch more honey for sweetness.

Step 6

Transfer the dressing to a jar with a lid and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld before serving.

Step 7

Stir before serving and enjoy your Low Sodium Creamy Cucumber Dressing over salads, as a dip for veggies, or as a spread on sandwiches.
