Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Icelandic skyr (or Greek yogurt)
- 2 tablespoons Fresh dill, finely chopped
- 2 tablespoons Chives, finely chopped
- 1 tablespoon Fresh lemon juice
- 1 clove Garlic, minced
- 2 teaspoons Capers, finely chopped
- 0.5 teaspoons Sea salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper, freshly ground
- 0.5 cup Cucumber, finely grated and drained
Instructions
Begin by preparing the cucumber. Grate half a cucumber and place it in a clean kitchen towel. Squeeze out as much liquid as possible, as excess moisture may dilute the dip.
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the skyr (or Greek yogurt) with the finely chopped dill, chives, and capers.
Add the minced garlic, fresh lemon juice, and the drained grated cucumber to the bowl. Stir well to ensure the ingredients are evenly distributed.
Season the mixture with sea salt and freshly ground black pepper. Taste and adjust the seasoning as needed.
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
Before serving, give the dip a final stir and transfer it to a serving dish. Garnish with a small sprig of dill or a sprinkle of chopped chives for presentation, if desired.
Serve chilled with your choice of crisp vegetables, crackers, or bread. Enjoy!
