Chef's Notes

Substitutions
For the onion, use yellow, white, or red.

Substitute parsley, chives, or dill for cilantro.

Squeezing water out of the cucumber
After you’ve grated the cucumber, take a handful-size amount and, with clean hands, squeeze it to release as much water as possible. Set that cucumber aside in a bowl and move on to the next portion that fits in the palm of your hand. Do this until you’ve squeezed as much water as possible out of all of it.
