Peel the cucumbers, removing most of the peel.

Grate the cucumbers into a measuring cup until you have about 1 to 1.5 cups of grated cucumber.

Add a pinch of salt to the grated cucumber and mix to draw out moisture, then set aside for about 10 minutes.

After 10 minutes, drain out as much cucumber juice as possible and pat the grated cucumber dry with paper towels.

Combine the grated cucumber with garlic chives, dill, white pepper, and homemade lemon juice in a bowl.

Add chili if desired and mix everything together.

Taste and adjust salt as needed, letting the flavors develop in the fridge for a couple of hours before serving.
