- 1 clove Garlic
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons Fresh dill
- 1 teaspoon Olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt

Wash and dry the cucumber. Peel it if desired, then grate it using a box grater. Place the grated cucumber in a clean kitchen towel or cheesecloth and squeeze out as much excess water as possible.

Stir the mixture thoroughly until all ingredients are well incorporated.
Taste the dip and adjust the seasoning if necessary, adding more salt or lemon juice to suit your preference.
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and let the dip chill in the refrigerator for at least 20 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld.
