• 1 cup plain yogurt
• 1/4 cup lemon juice
• water, for diluting
• 1/4 cup cilantro, crushed
• 1 teaspoon cumin
• 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
• 1/4 teaspoon coriander
• 1 cucumber

Recipe

• 1 wash the cucumber and shred it. you can use a food processor, or use a ginsu knife to chop the cuke sushi-fine, i prefer to use a veggie peeler because i have more control over the size of the pieces. either way, the end result should have the same consistency as a storebought bag of shredded carrot.
• 2 blend the yogurt with the lemon juice and mix well. dilute with water so the mixture is runny, about the same consistency as heavy cream.
• 3 stir the spices in well.
• 4 stir in the shredded cucumber.
