Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups plain Greek yogurt
  • 1 cup grated cucumber squeezed dry
  • 2 cloves garlic finely minced
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh dill
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice or to taste
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt or to taste
  • 1/8 teaspoon black pepper

  1. Grate the cucumber, then squeeze it in a clean kitchen towel or fine-mesh strainer to remove excess water.
  2. Stir the yogurt, cucumber, garlic, dill, lemon juice, salt, and pepper together in a bowl.
  3. Cover and refrigerate for about 1 hour. Stir, taste, and adjust the lemon and seasoning before serving.

Make it work for dinner
