Ingredients

  • 1 small or ½ cucumber, grated
  • 1½ cup (400g) yogurt
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 1 tbsp fresh dill, finely chopped
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tbsp of lemon juice
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Grate the cucumber and drain excess moisture using a kitchen towel or paper towel. You can also press it with your hands or carefully in a strainer.
  2. In a mixing bowl, combine grated cucumber, dairy-free yogurt, minced garlic, and chopped fresh dill.
  3. Drizzle olive oil over the mixture and season with salt and pepper. 
  4. Stir until well combined. Adjust seasoning if needed.
  5. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to let flavors meld.
  6. Serve chilled as a dip with pita, veggies, or as a condiment for Mediterranean dishes.

Pro Tip: Add some lemon juice for a tangy twist. If you don’t have a grater, finely chopping the cucumber is an option.
