Cucumber Raita Dip: Ingredients
- Cucumbers
- Lemon
- Garlic
- Mint
- Greek yoghurt
- Asparagus
- Corn tortilla chips
Season the asparagus with salt and pepper and drizzle with a little olive oil. Toss them around so that they are evenly coated.
Peel the cucumber.
Once peeled, cut them into quarters.
Run you knife along the centre to remove the seeds from the middle. You just want to keep the fleshy part.
Dice the cucumber up into even sized small pieces.
Combine the cucumber with the Greek yoghurt and mint, and mix in a bowl until perfectly mixed. Season with a little salt and black pepper.
Add in the finely chopped garlic. This will give the dip that lovely tangy kick!
Add in the freshly squeezed lemon.
Ideally, set aside for about 20 minutes, as the flavours will get stronger over time as they blend together.
Heat up a chargrill pan and cook the asparagus for about 90 seconds on each side. You want them to slightly soften, but to still have a nice bite to them.
Serve the asparagus and the corn chips on a plate.
Spread the dip evenly over the asparagus and corn chips, or even serve the dip up in a bowl for your guests own dunking pleasure.
A satisfying snack!
