Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups Greek yogurt (plain, full fat)
- 1 medium Cucumber (grated and peeled)
- 2 tablespoons Honey
- 2 tablespoons Fresh mint (finely chopped)
- 1 tablespoon Fresh dill (finely chopped)
- 2 cloves Garlic (minced)
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice (freshly squeezed)
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper (freshly ground)
Instructions
Start by peeling the cucumber, then grate it using a box grater or food processor. Transfer the grated cucumber to a clean kitchen towel or cheesecloth and squeeze out as much liquid as possible to prevent the sauce from becoming watery.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the Greek yogurt, honey, minced garlic, fresh lemon juice, and olive oil. Stir until smooth and well mixed.
Add the grated cucumber, finely chopped mint, dill, salt, and black pepper to the bowl. Gently fold everything together so the cucumber and herbs are evenly distributed throughout the yogurt base.
Taste the sauce and adjust the seasoning with additional salt, pepper, or lemon juice, if desired.
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or transfer the sauce to an airtight container. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour before serving to allow the flavors to meld together.
Stir the sauce one more time before serving. Use it as a dip for veggies, a spread for sandwiches, a dressing for salads, or a topping for grilled meats or falafel.
