Add to Shopping List
Instructions
- Grate cucumber over colander and drain in bowl.
- Whisk yogurt, salt and cumin to a smooth consistency. If using Greek yogurt, add 1/3 cup water to thin. Whisk until smooth consistency then add salt and cumin, stirring once again to combine.
- Squeeze drained cucumber to extract excess water and discard water (or save for other use). Add to the yogurt and mix to combine.
- Chill if you prefer and serve with chili powder sprinkled on top.
Notes
- I prefer using a hothouse cucumber, the long thin skinned ones or the smaller Persian thin skinned cucumbers. Any cucumber will work, this is just a preference.
