A refreshing and creamy cucumber dill sauce perfect for gyros or as a versatile dip.
Grate the cucumber using a grater.
Grating the cucumber helps release its juices, enhancing the sauce's flavor.
Place the grated cucumber in a colander and sprinkle with a pinch of salt.
Salting the cucumber draws out excess moisture, preventing a watery sauce.
Let the cucumber sit for 10 minutes to drain.
Allowing the cucumber to rest ensures the sauce has a creamy consistency.
Squeeze the cucumber gently to remove any remaining liquid.
Use a clean kitchen towel to squeeze the cucumber for best results.
In a mixing bowl, combine the yogurt, mayonnaise, minced garlic, fresh dill, lemon juice, salt, and pepper.
Mixing the ingredients thoroughly ensures a uniform flavor.
Add the drained cucumber to the bowl and mix well.
Fold the cucumber gently to maintain its texture.
Refrigerate the sauce for at least 1 hour before serving.
Chilling the sauce allows the flavors to meld together beautifully.
Serve the sauce as a dip or topping for gyros and enjoy.
Garnish with a sprig of dill for a touch of elegance.
