Greek yogurt is a key ingredient in the Mediterranean Diet. It is thicker and creamier than regular yogurt since more of the whey has been strained out, and it has a delicious tangy flavor. Eaten plain, Greek yogurt becomes a creamy and soothing snack. Used in cooking, it lightens, moistens, and supports fresh flavors. In this recipe, Greek Yogurt adds a velvety smooth texture that keeps you coming back for more.
1 English cucumber, ¾ peel removed and cut into large chunks
1 ½ cups plain Greek yogurt
½ cup sour cream
1 shallot, grated or minced
¼ cup extra-virgin olive oil
2 tablespoons fresh dill leaves
¾ teaspoon coarse salt
Freshly ground white pepper
6 ounces lump crabmeat, broken up

Theresa J Trybus says: It is delicious and easy to make. I used imitation crab because it is less expensive. It still tastes good.
