Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Begin by washing and trimming the radishes before grating them using a box grater. Aim for a fine texture.
  2. Transfer the grated radishes to a colander and lightly sprinkle them with salt. Allow them to sit for 15 minutes.
  3. After 15 minutes, take a clean kitchen towel and place it over the radishes. Gently squeeze to remove any remaining liquid.
  4. In a medium bowl, combine the prepared radishes, grated garlic, Greek yogurt, olive oil, and lemon juice. Stir in minced scallions, dill, salt, and pepper.
  5. Cover your bowl and refrigerate the dip for at least 30 minutes, or up to 12 hours if prepared ahead.
  6. Once chilled, give the dip a quick stir and transfer it to your serving dish.
