Cool-as-a-Cucumber Raita - 2g Carbs, 0.3g Fiber, 0.8g Sugar

From: SparkPeople user CHEF_MEG

This creamy, tangy dip does double duty: with mint, it's a perfect pair
with Greek fare; with coriander and cumin, it cools down spicy Indian
curries.
Prep: 10 min
Servings: 8

1 English cucumber, diced
6 oz fat-free Greek yogurt
Juice of half a lemon
1 Tbsp chopped fresh mint OR 1/4 tsp each: ground coriander and cumin

Tips - -
English cucumbers are ideal for this recipe because their skin is
more tender and they have fewer seeds. If you can't find one, use
a traditional cucumber but peel it and remove the seeds.

After chopping the cucumber, place it on a lint-free kitchen towel
for 10 minutes to allow some of the moisture to drain.

Combine the cucumber, yogurt and lemon juice in a small bowl. Add
either the mint or the coriander and cumin. Stir to combine.

Serve immediately or cover and refrigerate for up to two days.

Note: The water from the cucumber might cause some separation, but
stir to combine and you're ready to eat.
