Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup Greek yogurt (full-fat recommended)
  • 1/2 English cucumber, grated and well-drained
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced or grated
  • 1 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil
  • 1 tbsp fresh lemon juice
  • 1 tbsp chopped fresh dill (or 1 tsp dried dill)
  • salt, to taste
  • black pepper, to taste

Instructions
 

  • Grate the cucumber on the large holes of a box grater. Wrap in a clean kitchen towel or cheesecloth and squeeze firmly to remove as much liquid as possible.
  • Finely mince or grate the garlic.
  • In a mixing bowl, combine Greek yogurt, drained cucumber, garlic, lemon juice, and chopped dill.
  • Stir in the olive oil, then season with salt and black pepper to taste.
  • Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow flavors to meld and the sauce to thicken.
  • Stir before serving and, if desired, drizzle with a little olive oil. Serve chilled.
