Step 1

Place the grated cucumber in a mesh sieve over a bowl. Sprinkle with a pinch of salt and gently toss together. Place a clean towel on top of the cucumbers, with a heavy can (or something similar) on top to weigh it down. Allow to sit for at least 5 minutes- the liquid from the cucumber will collect in the bowl below.

Step 2

Meanwhile, mix the Greek yogurt (2 cups), kosher salt (1/2 teaspoon), olive oil (2 tablespoons), minced garlic, chopped fresh dill (2 tablespoons), and lemon juice (2 tablespoons) together in a medium bowl.

Step 3

Place the grated cucumber in a clean kitchen towel and wring it out. Get it as dry as you can!

Step 4

Mix the grated cucumber into the yogurt mixture. Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary.

Step 5

Serve drizzled with more extra-virgin olive oil and garnished with fresh herbs if desired. Enjoy with pita bread, pita chips, and/or crudités, or as a spread on sandwiches or tacos.
