Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Greek yogurt
- 4 cloves Fresh garlic cloves
- 1 medium Cucumber
- 2 tablespoons Extra-virgin olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Fresh dill
- 2 tablespoons Fresh lemon juice
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
- 0.25 cups Crumbled feta cheese (optional)
Instructions
Peel the cucumber and grate it using a box grater. Place the grated cucumber in a clean kitchen towel or cheesecloth, and squeeze out as much liquid as possible to prevent a watery dip.
Mince the garlic cloves as finely as possible. Alternatively, use a garlic press for a smoother texture.
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the Greek yogurt, grated cucumber, minced garlic, olive oil, lemon juice, and salt.
Chop the fresh dill finely and mix it into the bowl with the other ingredients.
Stir everything together until well combined. If you're using feta cheese, fold it in at this stage for an extra layer of flavor.
Season the dip with black pepper, and adjust salt and lemon juice to taste if needed.
Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
Serve chilled with pita bread, fresh vegetables, or use as a spread in wraps or sandwiches.
