Instructions

Grate the cucumber using a medium box grater, then place it in a fine mesh strainer or cheesecloth (I used paper towels) and squeeze out as much liquid as possible. This helps keep the dressing thick.
½ English cucumber
In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the Greek yogurt, grated cucumber, olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, dill, salt, and pepper.
1 cup Greek yogurt, 1 tablespoon olive oil, 1 tablespoon lemon juice, 1 clove garlic, 1 tablespoon fresh dill, ½ teaspoon salt, ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
Taste and adjust salt, lemon juice, or dill to preference.

Notes

Grate the cucumber and then squeeze out as much liquid as possible to avoid a watery dressing.

Allow the dressing to chill in the fridge for at least 30 minutes before serving. This lets the flavors meld together.

If you're not a fan of raw garlic's strong flavor, you can roast it beforehand for a milder, sweeter taste.

If you prefer a tangier dressing, add more lemon juice or a splash of vinegar. If it’s too tangy, balance it out with a bit more olive oil or yogurt.
