Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 large Cucumber
- 120 grams Plain Greek yogurt
- 2 tablespoons White vinegar
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Dill
- 1 tablespoon Chives
- 1 clove Garlic
- 1 teaspoon Sugar
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
Instructions
Peel the cucumber and cut it in half lengthwise. Use a spoon to scrape out the seeds, then finely grate the cucumber into a clean kitchen towel or cheesecloth.
Squeeze out as much liquid as possible from the grated cucumber to prevent the dressing from becoming watery. Set aside.
In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the Greek yogurt, white vinegar, and olive oil until smooth and well combined.
Finely chop the fresh dill and chives. Mince the garlic clove. Add them to the yogurt mixture.
Stir in the grated cucumber, sugar, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to combine.
Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary, adding more salt, pepper, or vinegar to suit your preference.
Chill the dressing in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
Serve over fresh greens, roasted vegetables, or as a dip for bread or crackers. Enjoy!
