Ingredients
  

2 medium cucumbers, peeled and finely grated

1 ½ cups plain Greek yogurt

1 cup sour cream

2 cloves garlic, minced

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

1 tablespoon lemon juice (freshly squeezed for optimal flavor)

1 teaspoon salt (adjust according to taste)

½ teaspoon black pepper

1 tablespoon olive oil

Optional: a pinch of cayenne pepper for a hint of spice

Instructions
 

Prepare the Cucumbers: Begin by peeling the cucumbers. Using a box grater or food processor, finely grate them. Once grated, sprinkle a little salt over the cucumbers and transfer them to a colander. Allow them to rest for about 10 minutes. This will help draw out excess moisture.

    Mix Yogurt Base: While the cucumbers are draining, take a large mixing bowl and combine the plain Greek yogurt and sour cream. Stir vigorously until the mixture is smooth and creamy, ensuring there are no lumps.

      Incorporate Flavorings: Into the yogurt and sour cream mixture, add the minced garlic, finely chopped fresh dill (or dried dill), freshly squeezed lemon juice, salt, black pepper, and olive oil. Stir well until all ingredients are fully blended. If you enjoy a bit of spice, feel free to add a pinch of cayenne pepper.

        Drain the Cucumbers: After the cucumbers have drained, use a clean kitchen towel or paper towels to gently squeeze out any remaining moisture. This is a vital step to maintain a thick consistency in your dip.

          Combine Ingredients: Carefully fold the drained cucumbers into the yogurt mixture until they are completely integrated, ensuring an even distribution throughout the dip.

            Warm in Crockpot: Transfer the cucumber-yogurt mixture into your crockpot. Set it to the low setting and warm the dip for about 30 minutes. This gentle warming process allows the flavors to meld beautifully without cooking the dip.

              Cool and Serve: After 30 minutes, turn off the crockpot and allow the dip to cool slightly. For the best flavor development, transfer the dip to a serving bowl and refrigerate for at least 1 hour before serving.

                Serving Suggestions: Serve your chilled dip with an assortment of fresh, crunchy vegetables like carrots, bell peppers, and celery, or with pita chips for a delightful snack. It also works wonderfully as a spread on sandwiches, adding a refreshing and tangy element. Enjoy the harmonious blend of flavors!
