Use a box grater to finely grate cucumber. Spread cucumber out in a bowl or on a platter and sprinkle salt all over. Set aside 10-15 minutes so salt can draw excess moisture out of the cucumber.
1/2 English cucumber
Meanwhile, add all other ingredients to a bowl.
1 cup Greek yogurt, 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil, 1 tablespoon lemon juice, 1 tablespoon fresh dill, 1 clove garlic, 1/4 teaspoon ground white pepper
Drain the cucumber (I like to use a cheesecloth bag) and discard leftover liquid.
Add drained, grated cucumber to the rest of the ingredients and stir until combined. Taste and adjust salt and pepper to your preferences.
salt to taste
Serve immediately, or store in an airtight container in the fridge for 3-4 days. Enjoy!
