Instructions:
- In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the finely chopped cucumber and Greek yogurt.
- Add a dash of salt and black pepper to the mixture.

- Stir the mixture thoroughly until all the ingredients are well-combined and the cucumber is evenly distributed.
- Taste the dip and adjust the seasoning if needed. You can add a little more salt, pepper, or garlic powder according to your preference.
- For the best flavor, cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before serving. This allows the flavors to meld together.

Tips:
- Use fresh cucumbers for the best flavor and texture.
- For a chunkier texture, finely chop the cucumber instead of grating it.
- Make sure to drain any excess water from the cucumbers after grating to prevent the dip from becoming too runny.
- You can add a handful of chopped fresh herbs like dill, mint, or parsley for extra flavor and a touch of color.
- Allow the dip to sit in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes before serving to let the flavors meld together.
- Adjust the seasoning according to your taste, adding more salt, pepper, or garlic powder if needed.
