Servings: 6

Ingredients

Zucchini (2 medium, grated)
Garlic cloves (6, unpeeled)
Greek yogurt (1 cup)
Olive oil (2 tablespoons)
Lemon juice (1 tablespoon)
Fresh dill (2 tablespoons, chopped)
Salt (1/2 teaspoon)
Black pepper (1/4 teaspoon)

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Wrap the garlic cloves tightly in aluminum foil and place them in the oven. Roast for about 20 minutes until the cloves are soft and golden.
While the garlic is roasting, grate the zucchini using a box grater or food processor. Place the grated zucchini in a clean kitchen towel and squeeze out the excess moisture to avoid a watery dip.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the grated zucchini, the roasted garlic (squeezed out from the skins), Greek yogurt, olive oil, lemon juice, chopped dill, salt, and black pepper.
Using a fork or spatula, mix well until all ingredients are fully incorporated, resulting in a creamy dip.
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to allow the flavors to meld together.
Serve your Creamy Garlic and Zucchini Dip with an assortment of fresh vegetables, crunchy crackers, or warm pita bread.
