Grate the cucumber (skin on for color) on the coarse side of a box grater.
Salt the cucumber and drain: Toss the grated cucumber with salt in a sieve. Let it sit for 10 minutes to draw out water.
Squeeze the cucumber vigorously with your hands or a clean towel to remove as much liquid as possible. This is the most important step.
In a bowl, combine the squeezed cucumber, yogurt, garlic, olive oil, lemon juice, and dill.
Taste and add more salt or lemon if needed. Let sit in the fridge for flavors to meld if you have time.
