Instructions
- 1
Grate the cucumber on the large holes of a box grater. Transfer to a fine-mesh strainer set over a bowl, toss with a pinch of salt, and let drain for at least 30 minutes. Squeeze the grated cucumber firmly in your hands or press it against the strainer to remove as much liquid as possible — the cucumber should feel nearly dry.

In a mixing bowl, combine the Greek yogurt, drained cucumber, cilantro, lime juice, lime zest, garlic, olive oil, cumin, salt, and black pepper. Add the cayenne, if using. Stir until fully combined.
