Served as a side dish along with fried rice or served as a dip, raita is a great way to use up cool summer cucumbers.
With so many garden fresh cucumbers delivered by my neighbor, I had already made cucumber salad and cucumber sandwiches and still had loads of cucumbers left over. I was wondering what else I could make when this cucumber and green onion raita seemed like a perfect summer dish.
