Let’s make it.
Grate the cucumber
Coarsely grate cucumber. Put in a clean towel or sieve and squeeze gently to remove excess water.
Mix the base
Stir yogurt, garlic, lemon juice, oil, and salt in a bowl until smooth.
Add cucumber and herbs
Fold in cucumber and dill. Taste and add more lemon or salt only if needed.
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.
