Ingredients
  

  • 2 ounces feta cheese
  • 2 (5.3 ounce) containers plain greek yogurt
  • juice of ½ lemon (add more if needed)
  • 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 cup cucumber (peeled and diced)
  • 1 garlic clove (minced)
  • 2 teaspoons dill
  • ½ teaspoon kosher salt
  • ¼ teaspoon pepper

Instructions
 

  • In a bowl mix feta cheese, yogurt, lemon juice, olive oil, cucumber, garlic, salt, pepper, and dill or chives.
  • Stir until mixed. Cover and refrigerate for several hours to allow flavors to blend. Serve as a dressing or topping to a greek favorite meal!

Kori's Tips

  • Adjust the lemon juice, salt, pepper, and dill to your tastes. Some Greek yogurt brands are very tangy so you may wish to use less lemon juice. Also, some lemons can be very tart. Start with 1/2 a lemon and add more if needed. If your sauce is too tart, you can fix this by adding a little sweetener. Start with 1 tsp sweetener and go from there!
