Ingredients
  

2 medium cucumbers, peeled and grated

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

1/2 cup sour cream (can substitute with additional yogurt for a lighter option)

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

1 garlic clove, minced (adjust to taste)

1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice (about half a lemon)

1 teaspoon white wine vinegar (or apple cider vinegar for a different twist)

1/2 teaspoon salt (adjust to taste)

1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

Optional: 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika (for a hint of warmth)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Cucumbers: Begin by peeling the cucumbers and then grating them using a box grater or food processor. To eliminate excess moisture (which can make the dip watery), place the grated cucumbers into a clean kitchen towel. Gather the corners of the towel, twist to seal, and squeeze firmly over a bowl to catch the drained liquid. Set aside.

    Combine Base Ingredients: In a medium mixing bowl, add the Greek yogurt, sour cream, minced garlic, fresh lemon juice, and white wine vinegar. Using a whisk or spatula, mix these ingredients together until you achieve a smooth and creamy consistency.

      Add the Dill and Seasoning: Gently fold in the chopped fresh dill (or dried dill), along with the salt, black pepper, and optional smoked paprika. Stir until all ingredients are fully combined and the mixture is well-seasoned.

        Incorporate Cucumbers: Carefully add the prepared grated cucumbers to the yogurt mixture. Using a spatula, fold them in gently to ensure they are evenly distributed but don’t overmix, as you want to keep some texture.

          Chill for Flavor Development: Cover the bowl tightly with plastic wrap or transfer the dip to an airtight container. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld and intensify for a refreshing taste.

            Serve and Enjoy: Serve the chilled dip alongside a platter of fresh vegetable sticks, pita chips, or as a delightful spread on sandwiches and wraps. For an attractive presentation, garnish with extra sprigs of dill or thinly sliced cucumbers.
