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) |
