Recipe by The Modern Nonna
Ingredients
- 4 Lebanese cucumber, peeled
- 2 cups plain Greek yoghurt
- 1 to 2 cloves garlic, grated or minced
- ½ lemon, juiced
- ¼ cup dill or mint finely chopped
- Salt, to taste
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- Olives for garnish, optional
Instructions
- Grate the cucumber using the largest holes on your cheese grater. Squeeze all the excess moisture out of the grated cucumber. You can squeeze it out using just clean hands. This step will ensure a thicker dip. Alternatively, you can finely chop the cucumber.
- Add the yogurt to a large bowl, along with the grated cucumber, garlic, lemon juice, and dill, and season with salt. Stir well.
- Drizzle the olive oil over the dip for presentation and garnish with olives, if you like. Serve right away or store it in the refrigerator in a glass container. The dip should last up to 10 days. Enjoy!
