- 1 tablespoon Chives
- 1 clove Garlic
- 1 teaspoon Sugar

Directions
Step 1
Peel the cucumber and cut it in half lengthwise. Use a spoon to scrape out the seeds, then finely grate the cucumber into a clean kitchen towel or cheesecloth.
Step 2
Squeeze out as much liquid as possible from the grated cucumber to prevent the dressing from becoming watery. Set aside.

In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the Greek yogurt, white vinegar, and olive oil until smooth and well combined.
Step 4
Finely chop the fresh dill and chives. Mince the garlic clove. Add them to the yogurt mixture.
Step 5
Stir in the grated cucumber, sugar, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to combine.
Step 6
Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary, adding more salt, pepper, or vinegar to suit your preference.
Step 7
Chill the dressing in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
Step 8
Serve over fresh greens, roasted vegetables, or as a dip for bread or crackers. Enjoy!
