Thank you for asking me!!!!! You will add the shredded cucumber, but not the juice. Otherwise the yogurt would get watery :-) It is great to eat with a spicy meal, or you can use it on bread, pita or veggie sticks. Let me know if you try it! Michelle Awesome questions…

Being a cooking noob myself, though, I have some questions. First: on step 6 of this recipe, are we adding the cucumber pieces, the cucumber juice, or both to the yogurt-mint mixture? Second: what exactly do you do with cucumber raita once it's made? Is it just something you eat with a spoon, like you eat yogurt? I've never heard of it before, and I feel dumb for having to ask those 2 questions, since I seem to be the only one who doesn't know, but the recipe does me no good if I don't ask! :-) Looking forward to trying some of these recipes with my toddler!

I have to comment on how much I love this part of your site. My little girl is a SUPER picky eater and I have such a hard time finding food that she likes. I have noticed however, that she is more willing to try new foods when she has been included in the process, which makes me more excited about including her in cooking with me. I'm a new parent so I'm still learning, and things like this inspire me to continue to try and provide my family with healthy meals. I look forward to your "what's cooking with your kids" posts and can't wait to try this one! Thanks again! Hi Michelle!

But then when I told him it was cucumbers, he grinned and said how much he LOOOOVVVEEESSS cucumbers :-) Hi Gaelle,

I know they are easy and children love them but still.. teaching them to cook savory food is more important, no?
