Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 medium Cucumber
- 0.5 cup Plain Greek yogurt
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons Fresh dill
- 1 small Garlic clove
- 1 teaspoon Honey
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground black pepper
Instructions
Peel the cucumber and slice it in half lengthwise. Use a spoon to scoop out the seeds.
Grate the seeded cucumber using a box grater and set it aside. If the cucumber is very juicy, you can gently squeeze out some of the excess moisture using a clean kitchen towel.
In a blender or food processor, combine the grated cucumber, Greek yogurt, olive oil, lemon juice, fresh dill, garlic clove, honey, and ground black pepper.
Blend the mixture until smooth and creamy.
Taste the dressing and adjust the seasoning if needed by adding more lemon juice for tanginess or a touch more honey for sweetness.
Transfer the dressing to a jar with a lid and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld before serving.
Stir before serving and enjoy your Low Sodium Creamy Cucumber Dressing over salads, as a dip for veggies, or as a spread on sandwiches.
