Meatless Monday, Cucumber Dip
Cucumber Dip
I love Gyros, the Greek sandwich in pita bread ( I know it has meat) But, the cucumber dipping sauce, that is the best part! You can use it for dipping. Crispy pita chips or fresh veggies from the garden. It’s also great for veggie sandwiches or roll ups. It’s really delish and oh so easy.
What You Need
1 Large cucumber (seeds removed)
1 Cup sour cream ( or Greek yogurt)
2 Tbsp. *Greek seasoning (from the market or make using the recipe below)
1 Tbsp. garlic powder
1 Tbsp. dill
*Greek seasoning (makes about 12 teaspoons) In a small bowl, combine all ingredients. Store in air tight container for up to 3 months.
1 1/2 tsp dried oregano
1 tsp dried mint
1 tsp dried thyme
1/2 tspdried basil
1/2 tspdried marjoram
1/2 tsp dried minced onion
1/4 tsp dried minced garlic
Grater ( or shredder)
Cheese Cloth ( or clean tea towel)
Lets Make It!
Using a grater (fine shred) shred cucumber and squeeze out all of the liquid using a cheese cloth or towel. In a bowl combine cucumber, sour cream, Greek seasoning, garlic and dill and stir well with a fork. Cover and let chill in the refrigerator for 30 minutes or longer,(overnight is best). That’s it!
Serves 4-8
This sounds awesomely refreshing! You always have so many yummy things that I want to try.
OK, yum. Yes, let’s make it! This is on my list!

Awesome, that’s the best part of the Gyro!
That is totally my kind of light dinner when the temps are so hot as they have been these days. Love your meatless Mondays my friend~Hugs, M
This is my favorite sauce, and it is just so easy, huh!
Thanks so much for linking up with vB’s Mompreneur Blog Hop!
Sounds wonderful!
I’ve always wondered how they make it.
I am going to try the sauce. It sounds delicious. Thanks for posting it!
perfect for any party time!
Dip and veggies – perfect for summer!
When I see an advertising “beauty shot” of a fast food slop burger or a gigantic sizzling steak I actually turn away in revulsion. When I see a plate of fresh fruits and veggies I am attracted and eager to taste them. Cucumber is one of my favorites and this is a great recipe. Thanks, Katie!
Hi there, thanks so much for passing by + following Wandering Spice! I was really happy to see this yogurt sauce when I stopped by… it’s one of my favorites, and we eat it (the Arabic version, very similar) very often in our house. It’s so versatile as a dip for fresh veggies or anything off the bbq.
That is simply delicious. WIll try it out one day
Here’s how much I buy spices, I’d have to go out and by everything, except for the garlic powder and oregano. Yep, I’m not very spicy.
