Ingredients
1 large English cucumber
1 Tbsp fresh dill, chopped
1 Tbsp lemon juice
3 cloves minced garlic
2 cups plain Greek yogurt
salt & pepper to taste
Directions
1. Slice the cucumber in half lengthwise and scoop out the seeds in the middle.
2. Using a grater, finely grate the cucumber into a mesh strainer over a bowl.
3. Once you've grated all the cucumber sprinkle some salt on the cucumber and squeeze out some of the moisture using your hands.
4. Allow the grated cucumber to sit in the strainer for 25-30 minutes to drain any extra moisture away.
5. Discard the water that acumulated in the bowl from the cucumber.
6. In a medium bowl combine all ingredients. Season with salt & pepper to taste.
7. Place in the fridge for at least 1 hour before using in order for the flavors to develop more fully.
