2 cups Plain Greek yogurt (full fat works best)

1 Tablespoon Extra virgin olive oil
3 cloves Garlic, finely-grated
2 Tablespoons Fresh dill, minced
2 teaspoons Kosher salt
Directions
- Mix 1 teaspoon of Kosher salt into the shredded cucumber. The salt will pull moisture out of the cucumber. Place in a strainer and allow to drain for 20 minutes.
