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!
