Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup cucumber finely grated
  • 1 cup plain Greek yogurt we like Fage
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
  • 1/2 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
  • 1 clove garlic grated
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 tablespoon fresh dill chopped
US Customary - Metric

Instructions

  • Squeeze an excess water from the cucumber by placing it on a paper towel and pressing or squeezing.
  • Mix all of the ingredients in a bowl. Let rest for at least 10 minutes in the refrigerator before using to distribute the flavors.

Notes

  • Squeeze out any excess water from the cucumbers, and remove any excess seeds to get the best texture and keep the sauce from getting runny.
  • Use a thick, full fat Greek yogurt for the best texture.
  • The sauce can be used right away or saved for up to 3 days.
