Note

Make sure to drain the cucumber thoroughly; this is the key step to preventing a watery dip.

For a richer flavor, you can add a small squeeze of lemon juice or a pinch of salt and pepper to taste.

This dip is best served cold. It can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

Feel free to substitute dill weed with other fresh herbs like chives or parsley for a different flavor profile.
