Ingredients

1 cup plain Greek Yogurt – I used nonfat plain greek yogurt

1/2 English cucumber (about 2/3 cup) – seeds removed, diced into small pieces

2 teaspoons olive oil

3 tablespoons fresh lemon juice

1 tablespoon fresh lemon zest

1 tablespoon minced garlic – about 1 clove

1/4 cup fresh chopped dill

1/2 teaspoon kosher salt

1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper

Directions

Place the diced cucumber in a strainer over a bowl and sprinkle it with some salt. Let it sit for a few minutes to extract any excess moisture, then pat it lightly with a clean paper towel.

Then add the greek yogurt, cucumber, and the rest of the ingredients to a medium-sized bowl and mix it all together until it is combined into a creamy sauce.

Top with more fresh dill, some ground black pepper, and a drizzle of olive oil.

Serve cold with pita chips, naan, or fresh chopped veggies.
