Instructions

Place the grated cucumber in a clean kitchen towel or cheesecloth and squeeze out excess moisture to avoid a watery dip.
In a medium bowl, mix low-fat Greek yogurt, minced garlic, fresh lemon juice, olive oil, sea salt, and black pepper.
Fold in the grated cucumber, chopped dill, and mint (if using) until well combined.
Taste and adjust the seasoning with salt or lemon juice as needed.
Cover and refrigerate the dip for at least 30 minutes to blend flavors and chill.
Serve chilled with fresh vegetable sticks, gluten-free crackers, grilled chicken, or as a sauce over roasted vegetables.
