Wash the cucumber and grate it using the large holes on a box grater.

Place the grated cucumber in a strainer or cheesecloth and let it sit while you prepare the other ingredients.

In a blender, combine the juice of 1/2 lemon, 2 chadon beni leaves, 1 scotch bonnet pepper, 1 clove garlic, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper. Blend until smooth.

Squeeze out any excess liquid from the grated cucumber and transfer it to a mixing bowl.

Pour the blended mixture over the cucumber and stir to combine.

Taste and adjust salt or pepper if needed. Serve immediately or refrigerate.
