Cucumber Raita {yummy steak topping}

I am a huge fan of the grill.  I would grill everyday during the summer if I could.  And when we grill steaks I have a very favorite thing to put on top - Cucumber Raita.  It is so yummy and so so easy!

I made it the other day and thought I would snap a few pictures to share along with the recipe.  It's my first time trying to photograph food, so excuse the embarrassing total lack of styling :)


While the steaks are on the grill I just run into the kitchen and grab a few ingredients and mix them all together (this is not an exact science so most amounts are total approximations - I usually don't even measure):

8 oz carton of plain greek yogurt
1/2 cup shredded or julienned cucumber - I leave the peel on
1 tsp chopped red onion
1/4 tsp sugar
Salt and pepper to taste

I think the original recipe had fresh mint in it too, but I found it just browsing through books at the library a few years ago and have no idea what book it was in so I can't go back and check for sure.  I usually just leave it out, but I bet it would be good.

Once the steaks are done, just garnish with the raita!  So easy and it's so fresh, light and summery.  I love it!
