Cucumber Raita
2 cups plain greek yogurt
2 English cucumbers, peeled and diced or grated
3 TB lemon juice
1 tsp honey
¼ tsp salt
2 TB chopped cilantro
- Scoop seeds out of the cucumber with a small spoon. Dice cucumber with a knife or grate with a box cheese grater. Drain the liquid from the cucumber in a metal strainer and sprinkle with a little salt (this helps release the liquid). You may want to use the back of a spoon to help squeeze out any excess liquid or place in a towel or cheese cloth and squeeze.
- Mix cucumbers with remaining ingredients.
- Chill for 3 hours to overnight
- Stir and serve
Some recipes add cumin, coriander, chopped green or red onion. Some even add red onion, carrots, or other vegetables and/or fruits.
