Instructions
- Shred the zucchini and place it in a cheesecloth to drain excess water.
- Squeeze out the excess juice from the zucchini.
- Mix the zucchini with garlic, salt, black pepper, fresh dill and yogurt
- Taste and add more salt if needed.
- Chill in the fridge and serve with warm bread.
Notes
- Maximize Flavor with Garlic: Allow the minced garlic to sit for 10 minutes before mixing it into the dip. This enhances its flavor and brings out its beneficial properties.
- Choose the Right Yogurt: Greek yogurt is preferred for its thick, creamy texture. Ensure the yogurt is plain and unsweetened to maintain the savory profile of the dip.
- Zucchini Preparation: If you prefer a chunkier dip, coarsely grate the zucchini. For a smoother texture, finely grate it. Always squeeze out as much moisture as possible for the creamiest consistency.
- Balance the Flavors: Taste the dip before chilling and adjust the salt and pepper as needed. The flavors will meld and become more pronounced after chilling, so slight under-seasoning is better initially.
- Chill for Best Results: Let the dip chill for at least 30 minutes, but overnight is even better. This allows the flavors to fully develop and intensify.
- Consistency Adjustments: If the dip is too thick, you can thin it out with a small amount of cold water or additional yogurt until you achieve the desired consistency.
