Cucumber Basil Raita Dip
Enjoy immediately, or later. This sauce is still good the next day. Recipe makes almost 4 cups of dip but can easily be cut in half. I make the full batch, then if there is any leftover, I serve it with veggie burgers, or curry and rice, or roasted veggies, depending on my mood.
