Step-by-step
Grown-up steps: Grown-ups should help kids with finely chopping the dill and garlic. Tell them to watch out for cutting their fingers when using the grater. For younger chefs, you may need to grate the cucumber for them.
- Mince the garlic and finely chop dill. Set aside.
- Grate cucumber using the small-hole side of the grater. Using a fine mesh strainer or a clean kitchen towel, press the grated cucumber to drain the water. Set aside.
- In a bowl combine yogurt, garlic, lemon juice, salt and pepper. Refrigerate for 10 minutes (the longer, the better).
- Stir in grated cucumber and dill. Taste and adjust salt if needed.
