Key Ingredient Notes:

Yogurt: I recommend using thick and creamy Greek or Greek-Style yogurt; full-fat is best, but low-fat works too. You don’t want to use a yogurt that is too runny.
Feta cheese: I definitely recommend using Greek feta cheese, but Bulgarian feta works well too.
Cucumber: Persian cucumber works well, or any variety you have on hand. Make sure to squeeze out as much cucumber water as you can so it doesn’t dilute your dip or make it too runny.
Fresh Herbs: Fresh dill brings bright, herby flavor. Don't skip it! But if you wanted to add more herbs, fresh mint and fresh parsley can also be added.
