Prepare the Cucumber
Wash the cucumber thoroughly. Cut it lengthwise and scoop out the seeds with a spoon. Grate the cucumber using a box grater or a food processor.

Squeeze Excess Water
Place the grated cucumber in a clean kitchen towel or cheesecloth. Squeeze it to remove excess water to prevent the dip from becoming too watery.
