Cucumber Dill Yogurt Sauce

4-6 servings
Cool and creamy cucumber yogurt sauce is an easy sauce to serve with grilled meat or salmon, roasted and raw vegetables, pita bread and pita chips. I usually make cucumber yogurt sauce with dill and mint, but it’s also fantastic with fresh basil or parsley. 
Ingredients

• 1 cup plain Greek yogurt (I prefer full-fat)
• ¾ cup grated unpeeled cucumber, first cut the cucumber lengthwise and scoop out the seeds. 
• 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
• 1 garlic clove, grated or finely chopped
• ⅛ teaspoon salt, plus more to taste
• ¼ cup finely chopped fresh dill
• 1 tablespoon chopped fresh mint (optional)

Preparation​​

1. Use the largest holes on a box grater (cheese grater) to grate the cucumber.
2. In a medium bowl, mix together the yogurt and cucumber. 
3. Add lemon juice, garlic and salt. 
4. Stir in the fresh herbs.

Notes
​This sauce will stay fresh and flavorful for up to 3 days in the refrigerator. Water will separate from the yogurt, so mix well before serving.
