Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 medium-sized (about 1 cup grated) Cucumber
- 1 cup Greek yogurt
- 2 tablespoons (finely chopped) Fresh dill
- 1 tablespoon (freshly squeezed) Lemon juice
- 1 clove (minced) Garlic
- 1 teaspoon Olive oil
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon (freshly ground) Black pepper
Instructions
Wash and peel the cucumber. If preferred, you can leave the skin on for added texture and color.
Grate the cucumber using a box grater or food processor. Place the grated cucumber into a clean kitchen towel or several layers of paper towels, and squeeze out excess moisture. This step prevents the sauce from becoming watery.
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the Greek yogurt, grated cucumber, finely chopped dill, lemon juice, minced garlic, and olive oil.
Stir the mixture until everything is well combined and smooth.
Season the sauce with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste. Adjust the seasoning if needed.
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate the sauce for at least 15-30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
Serve the cucumber dill sauce chilled as a dip for vegetables, a topping for grilled salmon or chicken, or a spread for sandwiches and wraps.
