Cucumber Raita

Serve this cool, refreshing salad with my Lamb Tagine and Moroccan Couscous on this site. Make the salad early in the day and keep in the refrigerator to let the flavors blend and intensify. Add more mint to taste, but do not substitute dried mint; the flavor is just not the same.

Ingredients:
 2 hot house cucumber - peeled, seeded and thinly sliced
 2 cups Greek yogurt
 3 tablespoons lemon juice
 2 tablespoons chopped fresh mint
 1/2 teaspoon white sugar
 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt

Directions:
Stir together the cucumber, yogurt, lemon juice, mint, sugar, and salt in a bowl. Cover and refrigerate at least 3 hours, preferably overnight.
