Cucumber Raita (Cucumber Salad) image

This is a recipe I am posting for ZWT - India, untried by me at this time. I found this recipe on "Greeting India". Sounds like a wonderful side dish of cucumber salad. Time doesn't include the time to drain yogurt so allow 1/2 hour in addition to time posted.

This cucumber raita was a refreshing and delicious side dish to my spicy chicken curry. The cucumbers were crisp and the yogurt sauce was tangy and creamy. I loved the addition of the fresh herbs and spices, which gave the raita a lovely flavor.
