Ingredients

1 English cucumber partially peeled and grated
1 teaspoon salt
4 garlic cloves minced
1 teaspoon white vinegar
1 tablespoon olive oil
3/4 cup Greek yogurt
1/4 cup fresh dill finely chopped

Instructions

Grate the cucumber and sprinkle with salt. Let sit for 10 minutes, then squeeze out excess moisture.
In a bowl, mix the grated cucumber, garlic, white vinegar, olive oil, Greek yogurt, and dill.
Stir until well combined and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before serving.

Notes

For a smoother sauce, blend all the ingredients in a food processor.
Adjust garlic to taste if you prefer a milder or stronger garlic flavor.
If making ahead, give it a good stir before serving as the cucumber may release more liquid over time.
For an extra creamy version, add 1 tablespoon of extra virgin olive oil.
Use full-fat Greek yogurt for an even higher protein content.
