  • 2 C water
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • 2 teaspoons salt
  • 1 teaspoon ground black pepper
Directions: 
  • In a food processor or blender, with motor running, drop in the garlic and dill and puree. Stop the machine, add the cucumbers, and pulse until finely chopped. Add the yogurt, water, oil, honey, salt, and pepper and pulse 2 or 3 times just to combine. Do not over process.
