Ingredients

  • 3/4 English Cucumber
  • 1.5 cup Greek Yogurt
  • 2 clove Garlic
  • 1 tbsp Fresh Lemon Juice
  • 2 tsp Fresh Dill Use dried if you don't have fresh. It's not quite as flavorful but it'll work in a pinch.
  • 1/2 tbsp Olive Oil

Instructions

  • Grate cucumber, then squeeze out the water in a cheesecloth. (It will seem like less cucumber, that's okay.) Add to a small mixing bowl.
  • Use a citrus juicer (or your hand) to squeeze lemon. Add to bowl.
  • Mince the garlic and the dill, and add to bowl with the rest of the ingredients, plus the olive oil. Mix until your sauce is nice and creamy. Add salt and pepper to taste. Serve!
