Ingredients

• 1 large cucumber, grated and drained
• 1 cup Greek yogurt
• 2 tablespoons fresh mint leaves, finely chopped
• 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 clove garlic, minced
• Salt and pepper to taste

• Grated cucumber for garnish

Instructions

2. Add in the chopped mint leaves, lemon juice, olive oil, and minced garlic.
3. Mix everything thoroughly until well incorporated.
4. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
5. Transfer the dip to a serving bowl, then garnish with fresh mint leaves and a touch of grated cucumber.
6. Serve immediately with gluten-free chips or fresh veggie sticks.

Helpful Tips

• Ensure to drain the grated cucumber well to avoid a watery dip.
• For a thicker consistency, you can use strained or thick Greek yogurt.

Storage Instructions

Store any leftover dip in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Stir well before serving again.

Ingredient Substitutions

• If Greek yogurt isn’t available, you can use regular yogurt but drain it using a cheesecloth to thicken.
• You can substitute fresh mint with dried mint, but use only 1 teaspoon as dried mint has a stronger flavor.

Pairings

This dip pairs wonderfully with gluten-free chips, an assortment of fresh veggie sticks like carrots, bell peppers, and cucumbers. For drinks, a chilled lemonade or a mint-infused iced tea would complement the flavors perfectly.
