Simply A (RD) Fact: Did you know that 1 cup of plain Greek yogurt has 12gm MORE protein than 1 cup of traditional plain yogurt (26gm vs. 14gm)?
Ingredients
½ large seedless cucumber, washed, peeled, cut in half and seeded
3 cloves garlic, grated on a microplane
1 teaspoon kosher salt
½ teaspoon ground black pepper
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 tablespoon white vinegar
16oz plain Greek yogurt, either 0% or 2% fat
1-2 tablespoons fresh dill, finely chopped
Instructions
Grate peeled and seeded cucumber on a box grater set in the middle of a clean tea towel. Gather up edges of towel and squeeze out excess moisture from cucumber (over the sink, please!). When the cucumber is dry, place cucumber in a large bowl.
Add in garlic, salt, pepper, olive oil, white vinegar, Greek yogurt, and dill. Stir to combine. Taste for seasoning and adjust as needed.
Serve with as a dip for grilled and roasted meats (I love it with lamb) or with carrots sticks and pita chips (or with a spoon out of the bowl!).
