- 2 tablespoons Fresh dill
- 2 tablespoons Fresh lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 large Garlic clove
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt

Instructions
Start by washing the cucumber thoroughly. Peel the cucumber, then grate it using a box grater.
Place the grated cucumber into a clean cloth or paper towel and squeeze to remove as much excess liquid as possible.
In a medium mixing bowl, add the Greek yogurt, freshly squeezed lemon juice, and olive oil.
Finely chop the fresh dill and mince the garlic clove, adding them to the yogurt mixture.
Add the squeezed cucumber to the bowl, then sprinkle in the salt, black pepper, and the stevia or keto-friendly sweetener.
Mix all the ingredients thoroughly until well combined. Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary.
Transfer the dressing to a glass jar or an airtight container and refrigerate for at least 1 hour before serving to allow the flavors to meld.
Serve as a salad dressing or use as a dip for fresh vegetables.
