  • 2 tsp fresh dill (chopped)
  • salt and pepper
  • olive oil drizzle before serving (optional )

Directions

  1. 1

    Grate the cucumber overtop of several paper towels, then squeeze as much moisture out of it as possible (I like to do this over the sink).

    Transfer the sauce to a serving bowl, then drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with additional dill and black pepper. Serve with pita bread, pita chips or fresh veggies and enjoy!
