Ingredients
  

1 medium cucumber, peeled and finely grated

1 cup full-fat Greek yogurt (for rich creaminess)

1/2 cup sour cream

2 tablespoons fresh dill, finely chopped (or 1 tablespoon dried dill for convenience)

1 clove garlic, minced

1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lemon juice (for optimal flavor)

1/2 teaspoon salt (adjust to your taste preferences)

1/4 teaspoon black pepper

1/4 teaspoon onion powder

Optional: Extra dill for garnish

Instructions
 

Prepare the Cucumber: Start by peeling and finely grating the cucumber with a box grater or a food processor. After grating, place the cucumber in a clean kitchen towel and twist to squeeze out the excess moisture. This step is essential to ensure your dip maintains a creamy consistency without becoming watery.

    Mix the Cream Base: In a medium mixing bowl, combine the full-fat Greek yogurt and sour cream. Stir them together using a whisk or spoon until the mixture is smooth and well blended.

      Combine All Ingredients: Gently fold the grated cucumber into the yogurt-sour cream mixture, ensuring it is evenly distributed throughout.

        Add Flavor Components: Incorporate the finely chopped fresh dill, minced garlic, freshly squeezed lemon juice, salt, black pepper, and onion powder into the mixture. Stir thoroughly until all the ingredients are fully amalgamated.

          Taste and Adjust: Sample the dip and modify the seasoning according to your preference. You may wish to add additional salt, more dill for a herbaceous kick, or extra lemon juice for brightness.

            Chill and Set: Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or transfer the dip to an airtight container. Place it in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour before serving. This chilling time allows the flavors to blend beautifully.

              Serve and Enjoy: Serve the dip chilled, garnished with a sprinkle of extra dill if desired. This delightful dip pairs wonderfully with an assortment of fresh vegetable sticks, crispy crackers, or warm pita chips for a refreshing appetizer or snack.
