Ingredients
  

1 cup Greek yogurt

1 medium cucumber, grated and excess moisture squeezed out

2 tablespoons fresh dill, finely chopped

1 tablespoon lemon juice

1 clove garlic, minced

½ teaspoon salt (or adjust to taste)

¼ teaspoon black pepper

1 tablespoon olive oil (optional, for added creaminess)

Instructions
 

In a medium mixing bowl, spoon in the Greek yogurt. Whisk it gently until it becomes smooth and creamy, ensuring there are no lumps.

    Grate the cucumber using either a box grater or a food processor. Transfer the grated cucumber onto a clean kitchen towel or cheesecloth. Gather the edges of the towel and twist to squeeze out as much excess moisture as possible. This step is crucial to prevent the dip from becoming watery.

      Add the well-drained grated cucumber to the mixing bowl with the yogurt. Then, incorporate the finely chopped dill, lemon juice, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper into the bowl. If you'd like a richer texture, drizzle in the olive oil.

        Using a spatula or a wooden spoon, mix all the ingredients thoroughly until they are evenly combined. Taste the dip, and adjust the seasoning by adding more salt, pepper, or lemon juice to suit your preference.

          Once mixed, cover the bowl with plastic wrap or a lid and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes. For optimal flavor, allow the dip to chill for a few hours so the ingredients can meld together beautifully.

            When ready to serve, dish the dip into a serving bowl and enjoy it chilled. Pair it with pita chips, an assortment of fresh veggies, or use it as a delightful spread on sandwiches and wraps.
