Directions

  1. Place the yogurt in a large square of double cheesecloth. Tie the cheesecloth at the top and let any excess liquid drain for about 4 hours.

  2. Peel cucumbers, remove seeds with a spoon. Shred the cucumbers, then squeeze to drain excess liquid.

  3. Peel and mince garlic.

  4. In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, dill, salt and pepper. Add yogurt, cucumbers and garlic and stir until evenly combined. Refrigerate until ready to use.

Recipe Yield

Recipe Note

This is like the garlic dip that many of our Greek friends make and use in their restaurants. Serve in a bowl and garnish with fresh mint leaves, parsley sprigs and olives.
