Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 medium-sized zucchini
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup Greek yogurt
- 1 clove garlic
- 2 tablespoons fresh dill
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Wash the zucchini and trim off the ends. Grate the zucchini using the large holes of a box grater.
Place the grated zucchini in a bowl and sprinkle with salt. Let sit for 10 minutes to draw out excess moisture.
While waiting, mince the garlic and finely chop the fresh dill.
After 10 minutes, use a clean towel or cheesecloth to squeeze the grated zucchini to remove as much liquid as possible. Discard the liquid.
In a mixing bowl, combine the drained zucchini, Greek yogurt, minced garlic, chopped dill, lemon juice, olive oil, and black pepper. Stir until well combined.
Taste and adjust the seasoning with additional salt or lemon juice if needed.
Transfer the dip to a serving bowl. Garnish with a drizzle of olive oil and a sprinkle of fresh dill if desired.
Serve with fresh vegetables, pita chips, or crackers. Enjoy!
