What You'll Need
- 2 cucumbers*, washed with stem and root ends removed
- 2 tablespoons Super Mirchi Hot Sauce
- ¼ cup Greek yogurt
Instructions
- Slice the cucumbers widthwise into rounds, adjusting the thickness to your desired size.
- Arrange the slices on a serving plate or platter.
- In a small glass or ceramic dipping bowl, combine the hot sauce and yogurt and mix well.
- Place the dipping bowl in the center of the serving plate. Dip each cucumber slice and enjoy this refreshing and savory snack!
*We recommend English cucumber, also known as European cucumber or seedless cucumber. It is sweeter than the standard cucumber and makes for a more delicate, crisp bite.
Pro Tips & Variations
- Spice it up further: Dust the cucumber rounds with Tajín or a pinch of chaat masala for an extra layer of flavor.
- Mix up the veggies: This dip works beautifully with bell pepper strips, celery, or jicama sticks too.
- Make it a platter: Arrange on a large board with olives, cherry tomatoes, and pita chips for an effortless party spread.
- Adjust the heat: Start with 1 tablespoon of Super Mirchi and add more to taste — it's bold, so a little goes a long way.
