This condiment salad includes radishes, an early appearing Spring cancer-fighting veggie. Packed with vitamin C and cancer-protective anthocyanins, radishes add a little zip to this refreshing side.
Raita is a yogurt based side dish typically served alongside a spicy dish. Enjoy its cooling effect with hot curry dishes or spicy chicken kebabs.

1/2 tsp. ground cumin
1/4 tsp. freshly ground black pepper
1/4 tsp. salt
