Ingredients

  • 2 cups yogurt Greek, plain
  • ½ cucumber seedless, peeled and grated fine
  • ¼ tsp Kosher salt
  • ¼ tsp black pepper cracked
  • 3 garlic cloves minced
  • 1 Tbsp dill fresh, chopped (optional)
  • 1 dash nutmeg

Extra virgin olive oil for drizzling

    mint for garnish - optional

      Instructions

      • Grate the cucumber with a fine grater.
      • Place the grated cucumber in a strainer or cheese cloth and gently squeeze down to remove as much water as possible. You should have a moist pulp when done.
      • In a bowl place the Greek yogurt, salt, pepper, and garlic, then stir to combine.
      • Add in the cucumber, then stir in the dill, and the nutmeg. Drizzle with olive oil, and top with chopped mint if desired.
