Ingredients
- 1 medium (approximately 200 grams) Cucumber
- 1 cup Greek yogurt
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon Honey
- 1 clove Garlic
- 1 tablespoon (chopped) Fresh dill
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Beet juice
Instructions
Peel the cucumber, then grate it using a box grater. Place the grated cucumber in a clean kitchen towel and squeeze out as much water as possible. Set aside.
Peel and finely mince the garlic clove.
In a blender or food processor, combine the Greek yogurt, olive oil, lemon juice, honey, minced garlic, and grated cucumber.
Blend the mixture until smooth and well combined.
Add the chopped fresh dill, salt, ground black pepper, and beet juice to the blender. Pulse a few times to mix, ensuring the dressing becomes a beautiful rosy hue from the beet juice.
Taste the dressing and adjust seasoning if necessary by adding more salt or pepper.
Transfer the dressing to a jar or container with a lid. Chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
Serve over your favorite salad, as a dip for vegetables, or drizzled over grilled dishes. Store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
