Ingredients
  

  • 1 large English cucumber, finely chopped or grated
  • 1 cup (240g / 8.5 oz) Greek yogurt
  • 1 cup (240g / 8.5 oz) sour cream
  • ¼ cup (40g / 1.41 oz) shallots, finely diced
  • 1 tbsp (15 ml) fresh parsley, chopped
  • 1 tsp (5 ml) garlic powder
  • 1 tsp (5 ml) salt
  • ½ tsp black pepper, freshly ground
  • Fresh dill for garnish
  • For the creamiest, non-watery dip, it is essential to grate and squeeze all excess moisture from the cucumber before mixing.
  • A squeeze of fresh lemon juice (about 1-2 teaspoons / 10 ml / 0.3 fl oz) will brighten up all the flavors and add a lovely, zesty note.
  • For a bolder flavor, substitute the garlic powder with one clove of freshly minced garlic.
  • This dip tastes even better the next day! Make it ahead of time and let it chill in the refrigerator overnight.

Method
 

  1. Directions
  2. Prepare the Cucumber: For the best texture, grate the cucumber, toss with a pinch of salt, and let it sit in a colander for 15 minutes to draw out excess water.
  3. Squeeze thoroughly to remove all liquid. For a quicker version, simply chop the cucumber finely.
  4. Combine : In a medium bowl, combine the prepared cucumber, Greek yogurt, sour cream, and diced shallots.
  5. Stir until everything is evenly mixed.
  6. Season and Chill: Stir in the garlic powder, salt, pepper, and chopped parsley.
  7. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed. For best results, cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
  8. Serve: Garnish generously with fresh dill before serving.
