Tomato Cucumber Raita

Raita are yogurt salads, which are served with Indian meals as a cooling balance to the other spicier dishes. They can be made using many vegetable combinations, but this is my favourite. - Angie.

Instructions:

• Put Lemon, Salt, and Chaat Masala in a bow and toss the vegetables until coated.
