- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon dried onion flakes
- 0.25 teaspoon salt

Instructions
Wash and peel the cucumber. Use a grater to finely grate it into a bowl.
Place the grated cucumber in a clean kitchen towel or cheesecloth, and squeeze out as much excess moisture as possible. Set the drained cucumber aside.
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the plain Greek yogurt and sour cream. Mix well to create a smooth base.
Finely chop the fresh dill and add it to the yogurt and sour cream mixture.
Stir in the lemon juice, garlic powder, dried onion flakes, salt, and black pepper until fully incorporated.
Gently fold in the grated and drained cucumber, ensuring the mixture is well combined.
Taste and adjust seasoning if needed, adding more dill, salt, or lemon juice to suit your preference.
Transfer the dip to a serving dish, cover, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
Serve chilled with fresh veggies, pita bread, crackers, or as a condiment for grilled dishes.
