MAST O KHIYAR (YOGURT AND CUCUMBERS)
A light nutritious dish that can be eaten as a dip, with pita, as a sauce on rice or kebab or as a side dish. A traditional Iranian recipe. We eat a lot of this in the summer. It is far better with a real home country style yogurt, low fat yogurt just doesn't cut it.

Steps:
- Leave skins on cucumbers for color.
- Mix all ingredients, add garnish.
- Chill and serve.
- Garnish with sprigs of fresh mint.
- Only if you have no choice should you use dried mint. It just isn't as good. We eat it this way in winter when we have no fresh mint, as a sauce on rice with an Iranian stew.
