Description

A creamy, garlicky, and refreshing Greek-inspired sauce made with yogurt, cucumber, garlic, and dill. This quick and easy condiment brings Mediterranean flair to everything from grilled meats to veggie platters.


Ingredients

  • 1 cup full-fat Greek yogurt
  • 1/2 large cucumber, grated and drained
  • 1-2 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice (freshly squeezed)
  • 1 tbsp fresh dill, chopped
  • 1 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil (plus more for garnish)
  • Salt and black pepper to taste


Instructions

  1. Grate cucumber and squeeze out as much moisture as possible using a clean towel or paper towels.
  2. In a medium bowl, combine Greek yogurt, drained cucumber, garlic, lemon juice, and olive oil. Mix well.
  3. Stir in chopped dill, salt, and pepper. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.
  4. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow flavors to meld.
  5. Before serving, stir well and garnish with a drizzle of olive oil and extra dill if desired.

Notes

  • Use full-fat Greek yogurt for the richest, creamiest texture.
  • Add extra garlic for a bolder flavor, or increase lemon juice for more tang.
  • Store in the fridge for up to 4 days. Stir before serving.
