Wash and halve cucumbers; scoop out seeds. Grate cucumbers on the large holes of a box grater. Transfer the grated cucumbers to a colander set over a bowl or in the sink. Stir in 2 t. salt to draw out the water; let the cucumber mixture drain 15 minutes.
Rinse cucumbers and shake out excess liquid. Wrap in a clean kitchen towel; squeeze out as much liquid as possible.
Stir together cucumbers, yogurt, feta, chopped mint, cream, and lemon juice. Season with salt and pepper.
Transfer dip to a bowl and garnish with a mint sprig; serve with preferred crudites.
