Cucumber Raita image

Serve this cool, refreshing salad with Lamb Tagine and Moroccan Couscous. Make the salad early in the day and keep in the refrigerator to let the flavors blend and intensify. Add more mint to taste, but do not substitute dried mint; the flavor is just not the same.

This raita was delicious! The cucumber and yogurt were so refreshing, and the spices added a nice depth of flavor. I will definitely be making this again.

This raita was a bit too tangy for my taste, but I think that's because I used regular yogurt instead of Greek yogurt. Next time I'll try it with Greek yogurt and see if that makes a difference.
