1/2 cup sour cream
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
2 tablespoons minced fresh dill

Strain yogurt in refrigerator for several hours or overnight, covered. Or, use Greek yogurt. Mix cucumber and 1 tablespoon salt in small bowl; cover and chill 3 hours.

Place strained yogurt in another bowl. Mix in sour cream, lemon juice, dill and garlic. Squeeze out as much excess liquid as possible from cucumber. Stir cucumber into yogurt. Season with pepper. Cover; chill at least 2 hours. (Can be made 1 day ahead. Keep refrigerated.) NOTE: If you add 1 T. whey and let sit on counter for 6-10 hours before placing in fridge, it will last a lot longer.
