Ingredients

  • 1 cup greek yogurt
  • ½ cup grated cucumber
  • 1 garlic clove
  • 5 fresh mint leaves
  • 1 tsp dried dill or fresh
  • ½ lemon juiced
  • ½ lemon zest

Instructions

  • Add the Greek yogurt to a bowl. Grate the cucumber and finely mince the garlic before adding them in.
  • Stir in the lemon zest and juice, then finely chop the mint and dill—if using fresh dill, make sure to cut it extra small for the best texture.
  • Season with salt to taste (I recommend starting with just under a teaspoon and adjusting as needed).
  • Mix everything well, and enjoy!
