**A *Something Different* Recipe**

**Developed by Dana Jacobi**   
  
Keep it light and fresh this week with a cooling Raita. This simple condiment is made with just 4 main ingredients -- radishes, cucumber, yogurt and spices. Radishes are cruciferous vegetables rich in vitamin C and anthocyanins while cucumbers contain vitamin K. Use it on hot kebabs, herbed flatbread, or as an easy side dip.

**Makes 6 servings. Yield: about 1 1/2 cups**  

**Per Serving:** 28 calories, 1 g total fat (<1g saturated fat),   
2 g carbohydrate 1 g protein, <1 g dietary fiber, 117 mg sodium.

**Ingredients:**  
  
2 large radishes, quartered and thinly sliced, about 1/2 cup   
1 small Persian cucumber, quartered lengthwise, thinly sliced, about 1/2 cup\*  
1 cup plain whole milk yogurt  
1/2 tsp. ground cumin  
1/4 tsp. freshly ground black pepper  
1/4 tsp. salt  

**Directions:**   
  
In mixing bowl, combine all ingredients. Set raita aside 10 minutes to let flavors develop. Raita will become a bit thinner.   
  
\* If Persian cucumber is not available use 5-inch piece seedless cucumber, halved lengthwise, scooped out and finely chopped.
