This cucumber-dill sauce was inspired by a trip I took to Greece a few years ago. While there, I had the pleasure of enjoying a variety of traditional Greek dishes, many of which were served with a refreshing cucumber-dill sauce. I was immediately smitten with the sauce's creamy texture and bright, tangy flavor. Upon returning home, I set out to recreate the sauce so that I could enjoy it at home.
