Yogurt and Cucumber Dip (Low-Calorie)
Strained yogurt is whisked with grated cucumber, garlic, and fresh dill, then finished with a light drizzle of olive oil and a scatter of dried mint. This Turkish cacik-style dip stays thick and cooling with a tangy, herbal bite, served alongside warm pita or fresh vegetable sticks for scooping.
