Ingredients
  

1 large cucumber, finely diced

1 cup plain Greek yogurt

1/4 cup cream cheese, softened to room temperature

2 tablespoons fresh dill, finely chopped

1 tablespoon fresh mint, finely chopped

1 tablespoon lemon juice, freshly squeezed

1 tablespoon honey

1 garlic clove, minced

Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste

1/4 teaspoon smoked paprika (optional, for garnish)

Assorted vegetable sticks (e.g., carrots, celery, bell peppers) or pita chips for serving

Instructions
 

Prepare the Cucumber: Begin by washing the cucumber under cold water to remove any dirt. Finely dice it, then place the diced cucumber onto a clean kitchen towel. Gather the corners of the towel and twist to squeeze out any excess water, ensuring that the dip won't become watery.

    Mix the Base: In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the Greek yogurt and the softened cream cheese. Using an electric mixer or whisk, blend the two together until you achieve a smooth and creamy consistency.

      Add Flavor: To the yogurt and cream cheese mixture, add the chopped fresh dill, fresh mint, lemon juice, honey, and minced garlic. Mix until everything is thoroughly combined. This medley will infuse your dip with refreshing herbal notes.

        Incorporate Cucumber: Gently fold the prepared diced cucumber into the yogurt mixture using a spatula or spoon. Be careful not to overmix; you want to retain some of the cucumber's texture for a delightful crunch in every bite.

          Season: Take a moment to taste the dip, then adjust the seasoning with salt and freshly ground black pepper to your liking. If you opt for the smoked paprika, adding it at this stage can enhance the dip’s flavor profile.

            Chill: Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or a lid and refrigerate the dip for at least 30 minutes. This chilling step allows the flavors to meld beautifully, creating a more cohesive taste.

              Serve: Once the dip has chilled, give it a gentle stir to recombine any separated ingredients. Transfer the dip to a stylish serving bowl. For a touch of sweetness, drizzle a bit of extra honey on top, and for visual appeal, sprinkle some smoked paprika over the surface. Serve with your choice of vibrant vegetable sticks or crispy pita chips.
