Ingredients
- 16 oz strained yogurt
- 3 medium Persian cucumbers

- 1 tbsp white wine vinegar
- 1 tbsp avocado oil
- salt (to taste)
Instructions
- Wash the cucumbers and the dill, set on a paper towel to dry.

- Transfer the grated cucumber into a strainer and drain all the liquid before adding any other ingredients.
- Finely chop the dill and set aside.
- Next, grate the garlic into the smallest size possible. You can also use a garlic press if you have one. No one wants to bite into a big piece of garlic.
- In a medium size bowl add the strained yogurt, grated cucumber, garlic, chopped dill, white wine vinegar, oil, salt and give it a good mix until all the ingredients are well combined.
