- 2 tablespoons fresh dill
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 clove garlic
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper

Instructions
Peel the cucumbers, slice them in half lengthwise, and scoop out the seeds using a spoon. Chop the cucumbers into chunks.
In a blender, combine the chopped cucumbers, Greek yogurt, fresh mint leaves, fresh dill, lemon juice, olive oil, and garlic clove.
Pour in the water to help the blending process and adjust the soup consistency to your liking.
Blend until smooth and creamy. You may need to stop and scrape down the sides of the blender with a spatula to ensure even blending.
Season the soup with salt and black pepper. Blend again briefly to mix the seasoning evenly.
Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary, adding more salt, pepper, or lemon juice to suit your taste.
Transfer the blended soup to a container and chill in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour, allowing the flavors to meld.
Before serving, stir the soup to ensure it's well mixed. Pour into bowls and optionally garnish with a sprig of fresh mint or a light drizzle of olive oil.
