Cucumber and Tomato Raita

Recipe Ingredients

1 cup	237ml	Plain nonfat yogurt
1 tablespoon	15ml	Fresh mint leaves - finely chopped
1/2 teaspoon	2.5ml	Ground cumin
1/4 teaspoon	1.3ml	Chili powder
1/4 teaspoon	1.3ml	Salt
1/8 teaspoon	0.6ml	Pepper
1 teaspoon	5ml	Cucumber - peeled and seeded (medium) and coarsely chopped
1		Tomato - chopped (small)
1 tablespoon	15ml	Chopped onion - finely chopped

Recipe Instructions

In a small bowl, combine yogurt, mint leaves, and spices. Mix well. Add remaining ingredients. Mix until well blended. Chill 1 hour before serving. (Raita will keep for several days in the refrigerator, but is best when made just 1 hour ahead.) Stir before serving.

Bobbie Hinman writes: "A raita (pronounced RAY-ta) is a salad made from a refreshing mixture of yogurt and fresh fruits or vegetables. Most Indian meals are served with a raita as an accompaniment, providing a cooling contrast to the usually spicy main dish. I've also served this one as a delicious -- and unique -- salad dressing. (Mint leaves are available in the produce section of most large grocery stores and can also be used to add a wonderful spark to iced tea.)

Each 1/3 cup serving equals 1 WW point.
