Start by peeling the cucumber, then cut it lengthwise and scoop out the seeds using a spoon. This will prevent excess wateriness.
Grate the cucumber using a box grater or a food processor. Once grated, place the cucumber in a strainer and gently press down using a spoon to remove excess moisture.
Mince the garlic clove finely or use a garlic press to ensure it's well incorporated into the yogurt.
In a mixing bowl, combine the Greek yogurt, grated cucumber, minced garlic, chopped fresh dill, lemon juice, and olive oil.
Season the mixture with salt and black pepper according to taste.
Mix all ingredients thoroughly until everything is evenly combined. Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary.
Refrigerate the cucumber yogurt for at least 15 minutes or up to an hour before serving to allow the flavors to meld beautifully.
Serve chilled as a refreshing side to grilled meats, as a topping for salads, or enjoy it on its own as a light snack.
