Thanks for sending this one, Beth. It's one of our family favorites, something Barb and I picked up when we lived in Iran where it's called, cleverly, “yogurt and cucumbers” (mast o khiar). It is so refreshing, great for a hot day. It goes well stuffed into pita bread, too. One of Barb's variations is to add raisins.

  • ¾ cup yogurt
  • 1 cucumber pealed and chopped
  • 1 onion chopped small
  • pinch of salt and pepper
  • garlic powder to taste
  • cumin to taste
  • Mix together, chill and serve
