Ingredients
- 2 cups Greek yogurt
- 4 cloves Fresh garlic cloves
- 1 medium Cucumber
- 2 tablespoons Extra-virgin olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Fresh dill
- 2 tablespoons Fresh lemon juice
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
- 0.25 cups Crumbled feta cheese (optional)
Directions
Step 1
Peel the cucumber and grate it using a box grater. Place the grated cucumber in a clean kitchen towel or cheesecloth, and squeeze out as much liquid as possible to prevent a watery dip.
Step 2
Mince the garlic cloves as finely as possible. Alternatively, use a garlic press for a smoother texture.
Step 3
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the Greek yogurt, grated cucumber, minced garlic, olive oil, lemon juice, and salt.
Step 4
Chop the fresh dill finely and mix it into the bowl with the other ingredients.
Step 5
Stir everything together until well combined. If you're using feta cheese, fold it in at this stage for an extra layer of flavor.
Step 6
Season the dip with black pepper, and adjust salt and lemon juice to taste if needed.
Step 7
Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
Step 8
Serve chilled with pita bread, fresh vegetables, or use as a spread in wraps or sandwiches.
