Peel the cucumber to remove most of the thick skin, then use a spoon to remove the seeds. Grate the cucumber using a grater with large holes.
1 large cucumber
Remove the excess moisture from the cucumber by squeezing it in a kitchen towel or cheesecloth, or placing it in a mesh sieve line with a coffee filter. Set the sieve over a bowl and allow the liquid to drain off. This method will take several minutes and some moisture may still need to be squeezed out in a towel.
In a small bowl, combine the yogurt, sour cream, olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, and dill. Fold in the cucumber.
1/2 cup Greek yogurt, 1/2 cup sour cream, 2 tablespoons olive oil, 2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice, 1 garlic clove, 1/4 cup dill
Serve with fresh vegetables or pita bread. Store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
