- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh dill
- 1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
- 1 quart buttermilk or milk of choice
- 1 pint plain Greek yogurt

Instructions
- Peel cucumbers and cut them in half, scraping out seeds. Sprinkle the cucumbers with salt and let them stand 30 minutes. Drain excess water and rinse well to remove salt. This step is optional.
