Ingredients

• 1 cup Icelandic skyr (or Greek yogurt)
• 2 tablespoons Fresh dill, finely chopped
• 2 tablespoons Chives, finely chopped
• 1 tablespoon Fresh lemon juice
• 1 clove Garlic, minced
• 2 teaspoons Capers, finely chopped
• 0.5 teaspoons Sea salt
• 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper, freshly ground
• 0.5 cup Cucumber, finely grated and drained

Directions

Step 1

Begin by preparing the cucumber. Grate half a cucumber and place it in a clean kitchen towel. Squeeze out as much liquid as possible, as excess moisture may dilute the dip.

Step 2

In a medium mixing bowl, combine the skyr (or Greek yogurt) with the finely chopped dill, chives, and capers.

Step 3

Add the minced garlic, fresh lemon juice, and the drained grated cucumber to the bowl. Stir well to ensure the ingredients are evenly distributed.

Step 4

Season the mixture with sea salt and freshly ground black pepper. Taste and adjust the seasoning as needed.

Step 5

Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.

Step 6

Before serving, give the dip a final stir and transfer it to a serving dish. Garnish with a small sprig of dill or a sprinkle of chopped chives for presentation, if desired.

Step 7

Serve chilled with your choice of crisp vegetables, crackers, or bread. Enjoy!
