Prepare the Cucumber
Grate the cucumber using a box grater or a food processor. Once grated, place it in a clean kitchen towel or cheesecloth and squeeze out excess moisture to avoid a watery sauce.

Mince the Garlic
Peel and finely mince the garlic cloves. If you prefer a more intense garlic flavor, you can crush them with the side of a knife before mincing.
