Ingredients

1/2 English cucumber, peeled and grated (about 1/3 cup)
2-4 cloves fresh garlic, minced
1 1/2 cups plain yogurt (Greek, full fat)
1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
1/2 teaspoon Aleppo chiles
1/2 teaspoon freshly cracked black pepper
1-2 tablespoons fresh dill, chopped fine
1/2 lemon juiced
salt to taste
optional, white vinegar to taste

Preparation Instructions:

Use the coarse side of a cheese grater to shred the peeled cucumber. Place grated cucumber in a bowl and season with 1/2 teaspoon of salt. Let it sit for 20-30 minutes. (This draws out the excess moisture.) Strain cucumber through a wire sieve, cheese cloth, or paper towel and place in a mixing bowl.

Add all other ingredients and mix well.

Taste and adjust any extra salt, vinegar, or lemon juice to your liking.
