A quick yet delicious fix for a last minute party plans

Basic recipe has greek yogurt/ strained and drained full fat yogurt (preferably home made) mixed with cucumber, garlic olive oil and a herb like dill or cilantro or even mint although the most popular version is the one with dill and that’s the one we are making here.
