Refreshing Garlic Yogurt Cucumber Dip
Whether you're serving it as a dip with pita bread, veggies, or as a flavorful sauce for grilled meats, this creamy cucumber yogurt recipe is the perfect accompaniment for a taste of the Mediterranean.

Ingredients:
1 cucumber, peeled and finely grated
1 1/2 cups (360 ml) thick (strained) yogurt
2 cloves garlic, minced or finely grated
1 tablespoon (15 ml) extra virgin olive oil
1 tablespoon (15 ml) fresh lemon juice
1 tablespoon (15 ml) chopped fresh dill (or 1 tsp dried mint/dill if preferred)
Salt to taste (and black pepper if you wish)
Optional: 1 tablespoon (15 ml) chopped fresh mint for extra flavor

Instructions:
1. Peel the cucumber (peeling is optional) and finely grate it using a box grater. If you wish, you can cut it lengthwise and take out the seeds using a spoon, and then grate it.
2. Place the grated cucumber in a fine-mesh sieve or cheesecloth over a bowl to drain excess moisture. You can press down with a spoon to help release more liquid.
3. In a mixing bowl, combine the thick yogurt, minced (or grated) garlic, extra virgin olive oil, and fresh lemon juice.
4. Add the drained grated cucumber to the yogurt mixture. Stir in the chopped fresh dill (and mint if using). Alternatively, you can use dried mint or dill. Season with salt.
Optional: Refrigerate the sauce for at least 30 minutes before serving. This allows the flavors to meld.
5. Before serving, you can drizzle a little extra virgin olive oil on top and garnish with fresh dill or mint.
6.Serve it as a dip with pita bread, veggies, or as a sauce for grilled meats. It's also a fantastic accompaniment to Mediterranean dishes.
