Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups low-fat plain yogurt
- 2 fresh garlic cloves
- 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons fresh dill
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 cup cucumber
Instructions
Start by preparing the ingredients. Peel the garlic cloves and mince them finely. If available, use a garlic press to achieve a smoother consistency.
Wash and dry the fresh dill, then chop it finely.
Peel and finely grate half a cup of cucumber. Gently squeeze out excess water using a clean kitchen towel or cheesecloth.
In a mixing bowl, combine the low-fat plain yogurt, minced garlic, fresh lemon juice, chopped dill, and grated cucumber.
Add in the salt and black pepper, then stir well until all ingredients are thoroughly combined and the mixture is smooth.
Taste the yogurt and adjust the seasoning as needed.
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or place it in an airtight container, then refrigerate it for at least 30 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld.
Serve the garlic yogurt chilled as a dip, spread, or dressing for salads. Store any leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
