Ingredients

• 1 cup plain Greek yogurt
• 2 tablespoons lemon juice
• 2 cloves garlic
• 2 tablespoons dill (fresh, chopped)
• 2 tablespoons chives (fresh, chopped)
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
• 0.5 cup cucumber

Directions

Step 1

Peel the cucumber and grate it using a box grater. Place the grated cucumber in a clean kitchen towel and squeeze out as much moisture as possible.

Step 2

Mince the garlic cloves finely or use a garlic press to extract the garlic pulp.

Step 3

In a medium-sized bowl, combine the Greek yogurt, lemon juice, minced garlic, and grated cucumber.

Step 4

Chop the fresh dill and chives finely, and add them to the yogurt mixture.

Step 5

Add the black pepper to the mixture and stir everything thoroughly until the sauce is well combined.

Step 6

Taste the sauce and adjust the lemon juice or pepper to your preference.

Step 7

Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and let the sauce sit in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together, although it is not strictly necessary if you are short on time.

Step 8

Serve the sauce chilled as a dip with vegetables, a dressing for salads, or a spread for sandwiches and wraps.
