Ingredients
  

2 medium cucumbers, peeled and grated

1 cup Greek yogurt

1/2 cup sour cream

2 tablespoons fresh dill, chopped (or 1 tablespoon dried dill)

1 garlic clove, minced

1 tablespoon lemon juice

1 teaspoon white wine vinegar

1/2 teaspoon salt (or to taste)

1/4 teaspoon black pepper

Optional: 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika for extra flavor

Instructions
 

Prepare the Cucumbers: Start by grating the cucumbers. To remove excess water, place the grated cucumbers in a clean kitchen towel, twist it to seal, and squeeze the moisture out into a bowl.

    Combine Base Ingredients: In a medium mixing bowl, combine the Greek yogurt, sour cream, minced garlic, lemon juice, and white wine vinegar. Mix well until smooth and creamy.

      Add the Dill: Fold in the chopped fresh dill (or dried dill), along with the salt, black pepper, and optional smoked paprika into the yogurt mixture. Stir until everything is well incorporated.

        Incorporate Cucumbers: Gently fold the grated cucumbers into the creamy mixture, ensuring they are evenly distributed.

          Chill: Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or transfer the dip to an airtight container and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld and intensify.

            Serve: Serve the dip cold with a side of vegetables, pita chips, or use it as a spread for sandwiches and wraps. Garnish with extra dill or cucumber slices for an appealing presentation.
