Grate the cucumber using the fine side of a box grater. Transfer the grated cucumber to a mesh strainer and press out as much excess moisture as possible using the back of the spoon. Alternately, transfer the grated cucumber to a piece of paper towel or cheesecloth and squeeze out the excess moisture.
