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
 

Prepare the Cucumber: Begin by peeling the cucumber and cutting it into fine dice. To minimize excess moisture in the dip, sprinkle the diced cucumber with a pinch of salt and place it in a strainer. Let it sit for about 10 minutes to draw out the liquid, then gently press it to remove any residual moisture.

    Mix the Base: In a large mixing bowl, combine the plain Greek yogurt and sour cream. Use a spatula or whisk to blend the two ingredients until the mixture is smooth and uniform in texture.

      Incorporate the Cucumber: Gently fold the prepped cucumber into the yogurt-sour cream mixture, ensuring the cucumber is evenly distributed throughout.

        Flavor It Up: To the bowl, add the chopped fresh dill, freshly squeezed lemon juice, minced garlic, and onion powder. Season the mixture with salt and pepper to taste. Stir the ingredients together until fully combined.

          Chill for Flavor: 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 for a more robust taste.

            Final Touch: Once ready to serve, give the dip a thorough stir to refresh its consistency. If you like, sprinkle a pinch of paprika on top for an attractive, colorful finish.

              Serve It Up: Present the dip chilled, accompanied by a variety of fresh-cut vegetables, crispy chips, or crunchy crackers for dipping. Enjoy this refreshing treat!
