Raita Salad is a yogurt-mint salad that's a refreshing counterpart to chutney. A variety of raw or cooked vegetables, fruits, nuts, and herbs can be added. Thinned with buttermilk or fruit juice, raitas can also be turned into refreshing cold soups. Ingredients:
1 1/2 cups plain fat-free yogurt |
1/4 cup raisins |
1 teaspoon grated lemon rind |
1 teaspoon chopped fresh mint |
1/2 teaspoon salt |
1/2 teaspoon sugar |
1 cup seedless red grapes, halved |
3 tablespoons chopped pecans, toasted |
1/2 teaspoon roasted cumin seeds |
mint sprigs (optional) |
Directions:
1. Combine the first 6 ingredients in a small bowl; stir with a whisk. Cover and refrigerate for 15 minutes. Fold in the grapes and pecans. Sprinkle with Roasted Cumin Seeds; garnish with mint sprigs, if desired.
