Step 1

Peel the cucumber (I peel half of it, see note) and grate coarsely.

Step 2

Place the coarsely grated cucumber in a colander and mix well with a teaspoon of salt.

Step 3

Hang the strainer over a bowl or saucepan. After half an hour or more, the cucumber has already "lost" a lot of water.

Step 4

Squeeze the cucumber, either directly in the colander (press on it with your fist), or, even better, with a tea towel or cheesecloth *). To do so, spread out the towel, place the grated cucumber in the middle, gather the ends upwards, and press firmly on the "ball" with the cucumber inside.

Step 5

Mix the skyr in a bowl until smooth.

Step 6

Then add the garlic, olive oil, red wine vinegar, and dill.
