Start by preparing the cucumber. Peel the cucumber, cut it in half lengthwise, and scoop out the seeds with a spoon.
Grate the cucumber into a bowl using a box grater. Transfer the grated cucumber to a clean kitchen towel and squeeze out as much moisture as possible.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the grated and drained cucumber, Greek yogurt, fresh dill, minced garlic, apple cider vinegar, olive oil, salt, black pepper, and lemon juice.
Mix all the ingredients thoroughly using a spoon or whisk until well combined and creamy.
If the dressing is too thick for your liking, you can add water, one tablespoon at a time, until you reach the desired consistency.
Taste the dressing and adjust the seasoning if necessary. Add more salt or lemon juice according to your preference.
Transfer the dressing to a jar or airtight container and refrigerate for at least one hour before serving to allow the flavors to meld.
Serve chilled over salads or as a dip alongside fresh vegetables.
