Ingredients
  

1 cup plain Greek yogurt

1 medium cucumber, grated and excess water squeezed out

2 tablespoons fresh dill, finely chopped

1 tablespoon lemon juice

1 clove garlic, minced

1 teaspoon onion powder

1/2 teaspoon salt (adjust to taste)

1/4 teaspoon black pepper

Optional: a splash of olive oil for richness

Instructions
 

Prepare the Cucumber: Start by grating the cucumber using a box grater. Once grated, place it in a clean kitchen towel or cheesecloth and squeeze out as much moisture as possible. This step helps prevent the dip from becoming watery.

    Mix the Base: In a mixing bowl, add the Greek yogurt, grated cucumber, chopped dill, lemon juice, minced garlic, onion powder, salt, and black pepper.

      Combine Ingredients: Use a spatula or a whisk to gently fold the ingredients together until well combined. Make sure the cucumber and dill are evenly distributed throughout the yogurt.

        Adjust Seasoning: Taste the dip and adjust the seasoning if necessary, adding more salt, lemon juice, or dill as preferred.

          Chill: Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate the dip for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together. This step is essential for a more flavorful dip.

            Serve: Once chilled, stir the dip again, and if desired, drizzle a bit of olive oil on top before serving. Serve with an assortment of fresh vegetables, pita chips, or crackers.
