   2      cups          plain nonfat yogurt
   2      medium        cucumbers -- peeled, seeded.
                        and grated - -- (abt 3 cups)
   3      tablespoons   finely-minced red onion
   4      teaspoons     chopped fresh mint

Preparation:

In a small bowl, combine yogurt, cucumber, onion, mint, and cumin. Add salt and pepper to taste. Mix well. Spoon the yogurt mixture into a strainer lined with muslin or a coffee filter. Place a bowl under the strainer to catch the liquid (whey) that drains from the yogurt. Cover and refrigerate 12 hours. Discard liquid.
