- ½ peeled seeded, and shredded cucumber
- 1 cup full-fat Greek yogurt
- ¼ cup extra virgin olive oil
- 1 finely minced garlic clove
- Juice of ½ lemon
- 1 ½ teaspoons finely minced fresh dill
- salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Place the cucumber shreds in a colander in a bowl and season with about a ½ teaspoon of salt and mix it until combined.
- Let the moisture from the cumbers drain into the bowl for about 10 minutes.
- Squeeze the cucumber shreds to get off as much extra moisture as possible and then add it to a separate medium-size bowl along with the remaining recipe ingredients.
- Whisk until it is well combined, cover, and keep in the refrigerator until ready to use.
Notes
- Chef Notes:
- Make-Ahead: You can make this up to 1 day ahead of time.
- How to Store: Cover and keep in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. This will not freeze well.
- If you are using a non-Greek yogurt, make sure to strain it to get as much moisture out as possible.
- You can also add finely chopped parsley to the sauce as well.
- It is preferable to use fresh herbs over dry in this recipe.
