Grate the cucumber on the largest holes of a box grater. Transfer the grated cucumber to a nut bag, clean dish towel, or cheese cloth and squeeze out the excess water.
Combine: Place the cucumber into a medium bowl. Add the yogurt, and olive oil. Press or grate the garlic into the bowl. Mix to combine. Add salt to taste. Set aside for 5 minutes.
Add the chopped fresh herbs and mix. Add fresh lemon juice, if using, to taste.
