Oh, my goodness…I want to get out my straw and drink this it’s so good!! Thank you, again Cabot for delicious products! I keep trying to pin it…
So easy to make and perfect. Only I would put a little less pepper in 👌
Very good
I had this yesterday at a Mother's Day cookout. It is delicious, the best ever. I have probably spent two years trying to get the recipe I have just right” and never was completely satisfied. Well
Hello! I am in Spain so I am using Greek yogourt from a company here but let me tell you something… this recipe is simple yet, awesome taste in my mouth! TRY THIS!
Made this for first time today. So easy and a good use for my fresh dill and garlic. A whole cucumber usually goes bad at my house but this recipe takes care of that. This is good for crudites but I plan to serve it with cooked veggies like green beans and broccoli also.
This was wonderful! I have never had or made Greek food before, my husband just loves it. He was amazed!!! Thank you.
it was very good
Excellent recipe using Greek Yogurt, which is my new favorite substitute for anything cream based! This was a hit!
Super easy to make ahead and serve at a party or get together, everyone loved it!
One of our favorite go to dip recipes! Thanks Cabot!
Cabot’s Greek Yogurt is a staple in our fridge! This dip is out of this world delicious!!! nom nom nom
excellent, delicious!
Just amazing! Had it at Mythos in South Africa & started looking for the recipe.
My kids and I turned the making of this into a group effort and the dip was a crowd pleaser.
Really good!!!
Excellent appetizer. My guest loved it! I added 1/2 tsp more salt couldn’t get dill so had to skip it but as is made it very inviting for kids 🙂 They could’t have enough.
This dip is amazing! Great to take to the office and share!
excellent recipe!!!!!
Great use of cucumbers! Even one of our families ‘reserved’ eaters liked it! However if you’re unable to refrigerate for a few hours prior to serving you’ll want to ease up on three ingredients: 1) fresh dill – use 1/2 TBSP; 2) lemon juice – use roughly 3/4 tsp no more tho’; and 3) garlic cloves – just use 1 good sized clove.
fantastic! But I used one clove of garlic and cut the salt to 1/8 tea.
