How to Make Cucumber Yogurt Dip
- **Strain the Yogurt (Optional):** Line a fine-mesh colander with cheesecloth or a coffee filter and place it over a bowl. Pour 1 cup plain yogurt into the lined colander. Let it drain for at least 1 hour, or preferably overnight in the refrigerator (cover with plastic wrap). This step is optional if using thick Greek yogurt.
- **Prepare the Cucumber:** Peel and finely chop 1 medium cucumber (about 1 cup chopped).
- **Combine Ingredients:** In a medium bowl, combine the strained yogurt (or 1 cup thick Greek yogurt), chopped cucumber, 2 cloves minced garlic, 1/4 cup finely chopped fresh dill, 2 tablespoons lemon juice, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper.
- **Mix Well:** Stir all ingredients until thoroughly combined.
- **Chill & Serve:** Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld. Serve chilled with your favorite foods. Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days (note that the garlic flavor may intensify).
