Instructions
- Shred the cucumber with a box cutter, or pulse a few times in a food processor. You need ¼ to ½ cup.
- Wrap shredded cucumber in cheesecloth, or towel. Place over bowl or sink, and squeeze to remove as much water as possible. Place in a clean, medium-sized bowl.
- To the shredded cucumber, add the yogurt, vinegar, garlic, dill, lemon juice, salt, pepper, and olive oil. Whisk together until fully combined.
- Refrigerate for at least 1 hour.
Notes
- If you don't have a box grater, you can place half of the peeled and seeded cucumber in a food processor and pulse a couple of times. Or, use a knife to finely dice the cucumber.
- Cheesecloth, kitchen towel, coffee filter, or your hands will all work to help remove the water from the cucumbers.
- We love using whole milk plain Greek yogurt, but low-fat, or even fat-free will work. But even with the whole milk, as you can see, the dressing is still very low in calories and fat.
- The sauce will keep in an air-tight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks and can be frozen for up to 2 months.
