Cucumber and Dill Dip

Here is a very light and fresh tasting dip that goes great with a summer BBQ. You can use this as a chip or veggie dip, or even serve it as a tzatziki substitute. As always, making your own dip is much healthier than buying pre-made stuff from the store (that is, if you can keep yourself from over-indulging ;) Enjoy!

p.s. This recipe is based on a similar one on allrecipes.com.

Cucumber and Dill Dip

• 1/2 of a container (8 oz) sour cream (use light or fat free for a diet-friendly dip)
• 1/2 a cucumber, peeled, grated and squeezed dry as possible
• 1/2 cup fresh dill, chopped
• splash of lemon juice, to taste
• fresh cracked salt, to taste
• 1/2 clove garlic, minced (*optional - this will give the dip a whole different flavour, more like tzatziki!)

1. Place all ingredients in a bowl and stir to combine. Taste and add more lemon juice and/or salt as desired. Cover and refridgerate 1-2 hours before serving. ENJOY!

Terrible picture, just proof I made it :)
