This easy dish borrows from Indian raita, a cucumber and yogurt mixture designed to cut the heat of spicy foods. Here we added mixed vegetables such as onion and radishes for a refreshing take on chopped salad. Prep Time: about 20 minutes, plus 1 hour to chill. Ingredients:
1 red onion (8 oz.), peeled and slivered |
8 ounces radishes, rinsed and trimmed |
1 english cucumber (1 lb.), rinsed |
1 cup plain whole-milk yogurt |
2 tablespoons lemon juice |
2 teaspoons cumin seeds |
1/2 teaspoon salt |
1/2 teaspoon pepper |
1/2 cup thinly sliced mint leaves |
Directions:
1. Place slivered onion in a bowl. Add cold water to cover and let stand 10 minutes. Meanwhile, slice radishes. Cut cucumber in half lengthwise, scoop out seeds with a spoon, and thinly slice into crescents. Drain onion.
2. In a large bowl, mix yogurt, lemon juice, cumin seeds, salt, pepper, and all but 2 tablespoons of the mint. Add onion, radishes, and cucumber and mix gently to coat. Cover and chill at least 1 hour or up to 1 day.
3. Just before serving, stir salad again to combine. Sprinkle with remaining 2 tablespoons mint.
