Radish Raita

Inspired by the cooling yogurt condiment served with spicy meats in India, this sweet, zesty sauce complements spice-rubbed grilled salmon, chile-spiced pork tenderloin, or barbecued chicken. Use the large holes of a box grater for the cucumber.

Ingredients

• 1  medium cucumber, peeled, halved lengthwise, and seeded
• 1  cup  diced radishes (about 6 radishes)
• 3/4  cup  plain low-fat yogurt

• 1  tablespoon  fresh lime juice
• 1/4  teaspoon  salt
• 1/4  teaspoon  ground cumin
• 1/8  teaspoon  hot pepper sauce

Preparation

Grate cucumber into a medium bowl. Add radishes and remaining ingredients, and stir gently to combine. Cover and chill 2 hours or overnight.
