Preparation / Directions:In a small bowl, combine yogurt, mint leaves, and spices. Mix well. Add remaining ingredients. Mix until well blended. Chill 1 hour before serving. (Raita will keep for several days in the refrigerator, but is best when made just 1 hour ahead.) Stir before serving.
Bobbie Hinman writes: "A raita (pronounced RAY-ta) is a salad made from a refreshing mixture of yogurt and fresh fruits or vegetables. Most Indian meals are served with a raita as an accompaniment, providing a cooling contrast to the usually spicy main dish. I've also served this one as a delicious -- and unique -- salad dressing. (Mint leaves are available in the produce section of most large grocery stores and can also be used to add a wonderful spark to iced tea.)
Each 1/3 cup serving equals 1 WW point
