This Greek dip is made with yogurt and
cucumber, both of which are packed with water. Yogurt alone contains 85%
water and has a lot of the same benefits milk and cottage cheese do. It
can be eaten as a refreshing condiment for roast veggies or simply as a
dip for carrot sticks, cherry tomatoes, and other vegetables.
