Let’s make it.

  1. Grate the cucumber

    Coarsely grate cucumber. Put in a clean towel or sieve and squeeze gently to remove excess water.

  2. Mix the base

    Stir yogurt, garlic, lemon juice, oil, and salt in a bowl until smooth.

  3. Add cucumber and herbs

    Fold in cucumber and dill. Taste and add more lemon or salt only if needed.

  4. Serve chilled

    Serve with vegetables or flatbread. Keep covered in the refrigerator until needed, and return leftovers promptly after serving.

A little kitchen wisdomSqueezing water from the cucumber keeps a yogurt dip thick. Garlic becomes more pronounced as the dip sits, so begin with a small clove.

Make it your own

Use mint instead of dill. A thick unsweetened plant-based yogurt can work, though flavor and texture vary.
