Ingredients

1 cucumber
3/4 cup sour cream
1 garlic clove
3/4 cup greek yogurt
1 1/2 tsp dill
1 tablespoon kosher salt For draining the cucumber
1/2 - 3 teaspoons salt
1/2 teaspoon pepper to taste
1 1/2 tsp lemon juice

Instructions

Peel the cucumber and then slice it in half and then in half again lengthwise and scoop out the seeds in the middle.
Slice it up into smaller pieces and put them on top of paper towels and sprinkle them with kosher salt and let them dry for a bit. I usually wait about an hour.
Squeeze the slices to get out as much moisture as you can, you want them as dry as you can get them.
Put these into a blender with the garlic, dill and lemon juice.
Mix that with the sour cream and Greek yogurt in a large mixing bowl and add kosher salt and pepper. You’re going to add quite a bit of kosher salt before it tastes right, but you should know-every sprinkle makes a big difference in how the sauce tastes.
Cover and refrigerate until ready to use. The longer it sits, the better the flavors will mix, so feel free to make this ahead of time!
