Print Recipe

A quick and easy 5-minute snack featuring the tangy creaminess of Greek yogurt combined with fresh cucumber and dill for a refreshing and light dip.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup (240 ml) Greek yogurt (full-fat or 2%)
  • 1 medium cucumber (about 8 oz / 225 g), peeled and finely grated or diced
  • 2 tablespoons fresh dill, chopped
  • 1 small clove garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon (15 ml) fresh lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon (5 ml) extra virgin olive oil (optional)
  • 1/4 teaspoon sea salt, or to taste
  • Pinch of black pepper

Instructions

  1. Peel the cucumber if the skin is thick or waxed. Grate it finely using a box grater or Microplane. Place the grated cucumber in a clean kitchen towel or cheesecloth and squeeze out excess moisture to prevent watery dip.
  2. Finely chop fresh dill and mince the garlic clove as finely as possible.
  3. In a mixing bowl, add 1 cup (240 ml) Greek yogurt. Stir in the drained cucumber, chopped dill, minced garlic, 1 tablespoon (15 ml) lemon juice, 1 teaspoon (5 ml) olive oil, and a pinch of black pepper. Mix until evenly incorporated.
  4. Add about 1/4 teaspoon sea salt, then taste and adjust seasoning if needed. Optionally, add extra lemon juice or salt to enhance flavors.
  5. Chill the dip in the refrigerator for 10-15 minutes to let flavors meld, or serve immediately.

Notes

Squeeze out excess moisture from the grated cucumber to avoid a watery dip. Use thick Greek yogurt for best texture. Fresh dill is preferred over dried for optimal flavor. Adjust garlic to taste. Chilling the dip enhances flavor melding but is optional.
