Step 1
Prepare the cucumber
Grate the cucumber and squeeze out excess moisture using a clean cloth or paper towel to prevent a watery dip.
Step 2
Mix the base
In a bowl, combine Greek yogurt, minced garlic, lemon juice, olive oil, dill, salt, and black pepper.
Step 3
Add cucumber and chill
Fold in the prepared cucumber, mix well, and refrigerate for at least 15–30 minutes before serving for best flavor.
Avoid watery dip
Always squeeze the cucumber well after grating to keep the dip thick and creamy.
Flavor development
Letting the dip rest in the fridge improves the garlic and dill infusion.
Mint version
Add chopped fresh mint for a brighter, more refreshing flavor.
Spicy twist
Add a pinch of chili flakes or cayenne pepper for heat.
Refrigerator
2–3 days
Store in an airtight container and stir before serving.
