Ingredients

1 medium English cucumber peeled and grated
3/4 teaspoon sea salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly cracked black pepper
1 cup plain greek yogurt
1 tbsp lemon juice
1 tbsp minced fresh dill
1 clove garlic, minced

Instructions

Rinse cucumber and shred with a box grater. If you are using an English cucumber, there is no need to peel it. Place in a bowl with sea salt and let it sit while you mix the other ingredients.
In a medium bowl, mix yogurt, lemon juice, dill and garlic. Squeeze out as much excess liquid as possible from cucumber and salt mixture with a clean towel. Stir cucumber into yogurt.
Season with pepper and additional salt if needed. Cover and chill until ready to serve. Serve with grilled veggies, pita triangles, fresh raw veggies, or as a sauce on your favorite gyro!
