Step 1

Season the yogurt: Place the yogurt, lemon juice, dill, mint, oil, garlic, salt, and pepper in a medium bowl and stir to combine.

Step 2

Grate the cucumber: Lay a clean, lint-free kitchen towel down on a cutting board and grate the cucumber on the large holes of a box grater onto the towel.

Step 3

Squeeze excess moisture from the cucumber: Remove the grater and gather the towel around the grated cucumber to form a bundle. Working over the sink (or a glass or bowl if you want to retain the juice), wring the towel to remove as much liquid from the cucumber as possible.

Step 4

Fold the cucumber into the yogurt mixture: Transfer the strained cucumber to the yogurt mixture and fold with a rubber spatula to combine.

Step 5

Chill and serve: Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour before serving.
