Persian Maast-o-Khiar Recipe
- 1/2 container of non-fat plain yogurt (about 16 oz)
- 3-4 Persian cucumbers (depends on how much crunch you want)--you can also use English cucumbers but the sizes vary so adjust amount accordingly

- Also if you want experiment with these extra ingredients which I personally love:
- 1/3 cup walnuts (again add as much as you want)
- 1/3 cup raisins (same as walnuts--as much as you want in there)
