Ingredients
2 cups Plain full-fat greek yogurt
1 English cucumber (see notes for regular cucumber)
4 cloves Fresh garlic
1 Lemon
to taste Salt and pepper
2 Tbsp Fresh Dill (or 2 tsp dried)
Preparation
1.  Peel and grate cucumber with box grater
2.  Wash the lemon and get 2 tsp of lemon zest with small side of box grater
3.  Squeeze 2 Tbsp of lemon juice from the lemon
4.  Peel and mince the garlic
5.  If using fresh dill, chop finely (2 tbsp)
6.  Add to a bowl: yogurt (2 cups), grated cucumber (all) , lemon zest (2 tsp), lemon juice (2 tbsp), minced garlic (4 cloves), chopped (2 tbsp) or dried (1 tsp) dill, pinch of salt and dash of pepper
7.  Combine and serve. Store refrigerated
Notes
1.  If using regular cucumber: peel, cut in half lengthwise, and remove center seed part with spoon. Grate the remaining the rest. Including the center seed part adds too much liquid to the sauce.
2.  Using fresh ingredients where possible here makes a big difference. (Lemon, garlic, dill)
3.  Try with our Chicken Shwarma Gyros recipe
