Peel the English cucumber (optional) and trim off the ends.
Grate the cucumber into a bowl using a box grater. Avoid using a food processor to maintain the authentic texture.
Mix a pinch of salt into the grated cucumber and let it sit for 10-15 minutes to draw out the excess liquid.
Place 2 cups of thick Greek strained yogurt into a separate mixing bowl.
Place the salted cucumber onto a clean cloth or strong paper towel and squeeze firmly to remove as much liquid as possible.
Grating the cucumber is superior to using a food processor for the correct texture.
Squeezing out the cucumber liquid is the most important step to prevent a watery sauce.
Use high-quality, thick Greek strained yogurt for a rich consistency.
The resting period in the fridge is essential; the raw garlic and herbs need time to mellow and infuse into the yogurt.
Adjust garlic and lemon amounts to your personal preference.
