Scale
Primary Ingredients
- 1/2 cup Plain Greek Yogurt
- 1/2 cup Feta Cheese
- 1 Lemon (juiced)
- 1 clove Garlic (minced)
- 1 1/2 teaspoons Fresh Dill (chopped)
- 1/2 cup Cucumber (seeded and grated)
- 1 pinch Salt
- 1 pinch Ground Black Pepper
Instructions
- Blend yogurt and feta: In a food processor or blender, combine 1/2 cup of plain Greek yogurt and 1/2 cup of feta cheese until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
- Add lemon, garlic, and dill: Stir in the juice of one lemon, one clove of minced garlic, and 1 1/2 teaspoons of freshly chopped dill to infuse the sauce with bright, aromatic flavors.
- Prepare the cucumber: Place 1/2 cup of seeded and grated cucumber in a colander or sieve and press out as much excess water as possible to prevent the sauce from becoming watery.
- Combine and season: Stir the well-drained cucumber into the yogurt and feta mixture. Season with a pinch of salt and ground black pepper to taste.
- Chill for flavor: Refrigerate the sauce for at least 30 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld together, enhancing the overall taste and texture.
Notes
- Pressing out cucumber water is key to prevent a watery sauce.
- Allowing the sauce to chill improves flavor blending and thickens texture.
- Serve as a dip for vegetables, a sauce for grilled meats, or a spread in wraps and sandwiches.
- Use fresh dill for best flavor; dried dill can be substituted but use less.
- Adjust garlic quantity according to taste preference.
