Directions:
Place the yogurt in a cheesecloth-lined sieve and set it over a bowl. Grate the cucumber and toss it with 2 Tbsp salt; place it in another sieve and set it over another bowl. Place both bowels in the refrigerator for 3-4 hours so yogurt and cucumbers can drain.

Transfer the thickened yogurt to a large bowl. Squeeze as much liquid from the cucumbers as you can and add the cucumbers to the yogurt. Mix in the sour cream, vinegar, lemon juice, olive oil, garlic, dill, 1 tsp salt, and pepper.
