A refreshing and creamy dip perfect for any occasion, combining the tanginess of yogurt with the crunch of cucumber and a hint of garlic.
Grate the cucumber using a grater and squeeze out the excess liquid.
Removing the excess liquid from the cucumber prevents the dip from becoming watery.
In a mixing bowl, combine the yogurt, grated cucumber, minced garlic, olive oil, and lemon juice.
Mix gently to maintain the creamy texture of the yogurt.
Add the chopped dill and stir well to incorporate.
Fresh dill adds a burst of flavor; adjust the quantity to your liking.
Chill the dip in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before serving.
Chilling allows the flavors to meld together for a more cohesive taste.
Serve the dip in a bowl, garnished with a drizzle of olive oil and a sprig of dill.
Presentation matters; a simple garnish can elevate the dish.
