Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 large English cucumber
- 1 cup Greek yogurt
- 0.5 cup Sour cream
- 2 tablespoons Fresh dill
- 1 medium Garlic clove
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 0.5 teaspoon Kosher salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Olive oil
Instructions
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. This step is key to avoid a watery dip.
In a mixing bowl, combine the Greek yogurt, sour cream, and olive oil. Mix until smooth.
Finely chop the fresh dill and mince the garlic clove. Add them to the mixing bowl along with the lemon juice, salt, and black pepper.
Add the prepared cucumber to the bowl and gently fold it into the mixture until evenly distributed.
Taste the dip and adjust the seasoning as needed, adding more salt, pepper, or lemon juice to suit your preference.
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate the dip for at least 30 minutes to let the flavors meld together.
Before serving, give the dip a final stir and garnish with a sprinkle of fresh dill if desired.
Serve with sliced vegetables, pita bread, crackers, or as a topping for grilled meats or fish.
