MAKES ABOUT 2 CUPS

THIS Indian-inspired salad, also known as raita, is commonly eaten as an accompaniment to hot curries and dal (here). It is delicious as a side dish for grilled foods and stews. And it makes a wonderful dip for pita (if no need to be gluten-free), corn chips, and veggies. For an extra boost, throw in some sunflower seeds. This salad keeps for two days refrigerated.

1½ cups plain Greek yogurt

1 garlic clove, minced, or ½ teaspoon garlic powder

½ teaspoon roasted ground cumin

2 tablespoons thinly sliced fresh mint leaves, or 2 teaspoons dried

1 cup grated cucumber (gently squeeze out the juice)

½ cup tomatoes, seeded and cut into a small dice

Salt and freshly ground black pepper

• Combine all the ingredients in a bowl and stir. Refrigerate for 1 hour before serving to allow the flavors to develop.
