Description

Cucumber and Greek yogurt dip is not only a refreshing and delicious snack but also a fantastic addition to your beauty and skincare routine. Cucumbers are rich in antioxidants and have hydrating properties, while Greek yogurt is packed with probiotics and proteins that nourish your skin from within. This recipe is simple to make and provides multiple servings, making it a great addition to your diet for glowing, healthy skin.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup Greek yogurt (preferably full-fat for richer texture)
  • 1 cucumber, peeled, seeded, and finely diced
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1 garlic clove, minced
  • 1 tablespoon fresh dill, chopped (or 1 teaspoon dried dill)
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Cucumber

  • Begin by peeling the cucumber to remove any bitter skin.
  • Cut the cucumber in half lengthwise and use a spoon to gently scoop out the seeds, ensuring the dip maintains a smooth texture.
  • Next, finely dice the cucumber into small, uniform pieces. Alternatively, for a silkier consistency, grate the cucumber using a box grater.
  • Place the prepared cucumber in a bowl, ready to be incorporated into the dip.

Step 2: Prepare the Yogurt Mixture

  • In a separate large bowl, combine the Greek yogurt, finely minced garlic, a drizzle of quality olive oil, freshly squeezed lemon juice, and finely chopped fresh dill.
  • Stir vigorously to ensure all components are thoroughly integrated, creating a creamy and aromatic yogurt mixture.

Step 3: Incorporate the Cucumber

  • Add the prepared cucumber to the yogurt mixture.
  • Gently fold the cucumber into the yogurt using a spatula or spoon, ensuring it is evenly distributed throughout.
  • Take care to mix thoroughly but gently to maintain the integrity of the ingredients.

Step 4: Season and Chill

  • Season the dip with salt and pepper to taste, adjusting the seasoning according to your preference. Stir once more to incorporate the seasoning evenly.
  • For optimal flavor development, cover the bowl with plastic wrap or a lid and refrigerate the dip for at least 1 hour before serving.

Equipment

Notes

  • Chill before serving: Refrigerating the dip allows the flavors to meld and enhances the overall taste.
  • Use fresh ingredients: Fresh dill and lemon juice will provide a more vibrant flavor compared to dried or bottled alternatives.
  • Consistency preference: For a thicker dip, you can strain the Greek yogurt through a cheesecloth for a few hours to remove excess whey.
