Como fazer Garlic Greek Sauce

Finely dice 1 medium cucumber (about 1 cup diced).
Sprinkle the diced cucumber with 1/2 teaspoon of salt.
Let the cucumber sit for 5 minutes to draw out excess moisture.
Rinse the cucumber under cold water and gently squeeze out excess liquid.
Mince 2-3 cloves of garlic.
In a medium bowl, combine 1 cup plain Greek yogurt with the minced garlic.
For a thicker sauce (optional): Line a fine-mesh sieve with cheesecloth. Pour the yogurt mixture into the sieve and let it drain for 10-15 minutes.
Gently stir in the drained cucumber (or the cucumber directly if skipping the cheesecloth step).
Season generously with freshly ground black pepper (about 1/2 teaspoon to 1 teaspoon, to taste).
Stir in 1-2 tablespoons of fresh lemon juice, or to taste.
