Ingredients
  • • 250 g / 1 cup plain Greek yogurt, whole milk
  • • 1 medium English cucumber, seeded, and grated or finely diced, then drained
  • • 2 cloves garlic, pressed
  • • 2 tbsp chopped fresh dill
  • • 1 tbsp fresh lemon juice or ½ tbsp white vinegar
  • • ½ tsp kosher salt
  • • Fresh ground black pepper
  • • Optional: 1 tbsp olive oil, fresh mint, za’atar
Instructions
  1. Peel the cucumber, cut it in half, and use a spoon to scoop out the seeds. Dice or grate the cucumber and use a cheesecloth or your hands (it’s faster) to drain the juices from it.
  2. Mix yogurt, garlic, lemon juice, salt & pepper. Add cucumber and dill, then mix.
  3. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour and serve.
