  • 1/4 tsp black pepper (freshly ground preferred)

Instructions

  1. In a medium bowl, combine the Greek yogurt, grated cucumber, dill, minced garlic, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper.
  2. Stir all the ingredients together until well mixed. Tip: For a smoother dip, you can blend the ingredients in a food processor for a few seconds.
  3. Taste the dip and adjust the seasoning with more salt, pepper, or lemon juice if needed. Tip: Letting the dip sit in the fridge for at least 30 minutes before serving allows the flavors to meld beautifully.
  4. Serve chilled. Tip: Garnish with a sprig of fresh dill or a sprinkle of paprika for a pop of color.

Creamy with a refreshing crunch from the cucumber, this dip is a delightful contrast of textures. Try spreading it on a sandwich or using it as a base for a veggie wrap to add a cool, tangy twist.
