Start by washing the cucumbers thoroughly under cold water. Peel the cucumbers if desired, and grate them using a box grater or food processor.
Place the grated cucumber into a clean kitchen towel or cheesecloth and squeeze out as much liquid as possible to avoid a watery yogurt.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the squeezed cucumber with the coconut yogurt.
Finely chop the fresh dill and add it to the bowl.
Peel and finely mince the garlic cloves and add them to the mixture for added flavor.
Add the lemon juice and olive oil to the mixing bowl, stirring all the ingredients together until evenly incorporated.
Season the mixture with salt and black pepper, adjusting to taste.
Transfer the Vegan Cucumber Yogurt to a serving dish and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes for flavors to meld, before serving it chilled.
