Ingredients
- 1 Cup English cucumber peeled and shredded (about 1 large cucumber)
- 1 ½ cups Greek yogurt
- ½ tsp kosher salt
- 2 tsp garlic minced
- 1 tbsp lemon juice
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tbsp dill minced, fresh
Instructions
- Peel the English cucumber, then grate 1 cup of it on the largest setting of a cheese grater. Lay out a piece of paper towel and fold the grated cucumber into the paper towel. Squeeze the paper towel until all excess water comes out of the cucumber
- Place the grated cucumber in a bowl with the rest of the ingredients (1 ½ cups Greek yogurt, ½ tsp kosher salt, 2 tsp garlic, 1 tbsp lemon juice, 2 tbsp olive oil, 1 tbsp fresh dill). Stir to combine.
- Serve with pita bread, pita chips, and veggies. Enjoy!
Notes
- Recipe copyright The Foreign Fork. For educational or personal use only.
- Use plain, unflavored Greek yogurt (NOT vanilla).
- I used an English cucumber and peeled it before grating. If you like the peel, you can leave it on.
- I always prefer fresh, chopped dill. If you don’t have fresh dill, you can use dried dill instead.
- If necessary, you can use sour cream instead of yogurt for a similar taste, though I would recommend yogurt if possible.
- If you don’t like the taste of dill, you can instead add oregano, thyme, or even mint to the dip!
- If you don’t want to use/don’t have lemon juice, you can also use white vinegar.
- Yogurt: Use plain, unflavored Greek yogurt (NOT vanilla).
- Cucumber: I used an English cucumber and peeled it before grating. If you like the peel, you can leave it on.
- Dill: I always prefer fresh, chopped dill. If you don’t have fresh dill, you can use dried dill instead.
