Ingredients
  

1 large cucumber, peeled and finely diced

1 cup plain Greek yogurt

1/2 cup sour cream

2 tablespoons fresh dill, finely chopped

1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lemon juice

1 clove garlic, minced

1/2 teaspoon onion powder

Salt and pepper, to taste

Optional: a pinch of paprika for garnish

Instructions
 

Begin by preparing the cucumber. Peel it and finely dice it into small pieces. To reduce the water content in the dip, sprinkle the diced cucumber with a pinch of salt and place it in a strainer. Allow it to sit for about 10 minutes. Afterward, gently press the cucumber to remove any excess moisture.

    In a mixing bowl, combine the plain Greek yogurt and sour cream. Using a whisk or a spoon, stir them together until the mixture is smooth and fully blended.

      Once the yogurt and sour cream are well combined, add the prepared cucumber to the bowl.

        Next, mix in the freshly chopped dill, lemon juice, minced garlic, and onion powder. Season the mixture with salt and pepper to taste. Stir everything together until well incorporated and evenly distributed.

          Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or a lid and refrigerate the dip for at least 30 minutes. This resting period allows the flavors to meld beautifully, enhancing the overall taste.

            Before serving, give the dip a thorough stir to redistribute the ingredients. If you like, sprinkle a pinch of paprika on top for an added touch of color.

              Chill the dip in the refrigerator until you're ready to serve. Pair it with a vibrant assortment of fresh vegetables, chips, or crunchy crackers for delightful dipping.
