This cool, creamy dip/sauce comes together in less than 5 minutes. It's high in protein and oil free. Enjoy it with fresh cut veggies or add it to grilled chicken, salmon, or just about anything you desire! This recipe supports Phase 2 and makes about 6 servings at 36 calories per serving.
1 ½ cups plain Greek nonfat yogurt (we love Fage brand)
2/3 cup English cucumber, shredded
3 Tbs fresh lemon juice (about 1 lemon)
2 large garlic cloves, minced
2-3 Tbs fresh dill, chopped
¾ tsp kosher salt
½ tsp ground black pepper
Grate the cucumber on a box grater, then gently squeeze out the excess water with a paper towel or cheesecloth.
Add all the ingredients to a mixing bowl. Mix gently until combined.
Taste and adjust seasonings, adding more salt, pepper, lemon juice, or dill, as needed.
Chill for 30 minutes before serving to allow all the flavors to meld. Enjoy!
