Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Plain Greek yogurt (non-fat or low-fat)
- 2 tablespoons Fresh dill, finely chopped
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice, freshly squeezed
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Ground black pepper
- 0.5 cup Cucumber, finely grated and drained
Instructions
Start by preparing the cucumber. Grate half a cucumber using the coarse side of a box grater. Place the grated cucumber in a clean kitchen towel or paper towels and squeeze out as much liquid as possible. Set aside.
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the plain Greek yogurt, finely chopped fresh dill, garlic powder, onion powder, lemon juice, salt, and ground black pepper.
Add the grated and drained cucumber to the yogurt mixture and stir well to combine all ingredients.
Taste the dip and adjust the seasoning with additional salt, pepper, or lemon juice if desired.
Cover the bowl with a lid or plastic wrap and let the dip chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
Serve chilled with fresh-cut vegetables, whole-grain crackers, or baked pita chips. Enjoy!
