Directions
-
Wash the cucumber thoroughly and peel it if desired, then grate it using a box grater or food processor.
-
Place the grated cucumber in a fine-mesh strainer or cheesecloth and squeeze out as much excess water as possible to prevent a watery dip.
-
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the drained cucumber with the soured cream.
-
Juice one of the lemons and stir the fresh juice into the cream mixture until well blended.
-
Season with salt and pepper to taste, adjusting the acidity with more lemon juice if desired.
-
Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
-
Serve chilled with the remaining lemon wedges on the side for garnish.
