Ingredients
- 2 cups Plain yogurt (unsweetened)
- 1 large Cucumber
- 2 tablespoons Fresh dill
- 1 clove Garlic
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Ground black pepper
Instructions
Wash the cucumber thoroughly and peel it if desired.
Grate the cucumber using a box grater or finely dice it into small pieces, depending on your texture preference.
Lightly press the grated cucumber in a clean kitchen towel or paper towel to remove excess moisture.
In a medium-sized bowl, combine the plain yogurt and prepared cucumber.
Finely chop the fresh dill and mince the garlic clove, then add them to the yogurt mixture.
Drizzle olive oil over the mixture and season with salt and ground black pepper to taste.
Stir all ingredients together until well combined.
Chill in the refrigerator for 15-30 minutes if desired to let the flavors develop, or serve immediately.
Garnish with a sprig of dill or a drizzle of olive oil before serving, if desired. Serve as a dip, a side dish, or enjoy on its own!
