Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Greek yogurt
- 1 medium Cucumber
- 2 tablespoons Fresh dill
- 1 large Garlic clove
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
Peel the cucumber and cut it in half lengthwise. Use a spoon to scoop out the seeds, then grate the cucumber using a box grater.
Place the grated cucumber in a clean kitchen towel or cheesecloth and squeeze out the excess moisture. This step prevents the dressing from being too watery.
Finely chop the fresh dill and mince the garlic clove.
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the Greek yogurt, grated cucumber, chopped dill, minced garlic, lemon juice, olive oil, salt, and black pepper.
Stir the ingredients together until well combined. Taste and adjust the seasoning if necessary.
Transfer the dressing to a clean jar or container with a lid. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
Serve the cucumber dill dressing chilled as a salad dressing, a dip for vegetables, or a sauce for grilled meats or fish.
