Turkish Raita - Yoghurt Salad
I don’t know if this is a Turkish recipe for real, but my dear friend Fauzia, said it was. Now I have to ask my Turkish friends, if it really is. Fauzia made it for barbecue yesterday. We had a good time. You should check this park out, its in Aurora, Ohio. Its called Sunny lake Park. Its huge!
I like to call it Turkish raita (raita means yogurt salad in India), so that everyone is happy. But wherever this recipe came from, it tastes fantastic. Dont believe me, well try it and see for yourself.
Ingredients:
boiled potatoes, diced,
carrots, diced,
cucumbers diced,
yogurt
mayonnaise (lesser in quantity than your yoghurt)
salt, black pepper, cumin powder (jeera)
optional: cilantro (if you want to call it Indian) or parsley (if you want to claim its Turkish); chopped 
Method:
Mix the yogurt, mayo and the seasoning first. Then drop the veggies in it. That’s it! Its ready to be eaten. I loved it so much, I kept eating spoonfuls of it, during, through and after my meal

thank you so much veaishali ! ! !
I’ll try to my best with my recipes. speaking of reipes I have a recipe of my own right NOW ! thier called : ICE CREAM COOKIES. here’s how you do it. first you get a tray (enough to fit twelve cookies) you cover the tray with wax paper. You take 12 cookies and lay them on the tray. Bottom side up. Now you take some icecream. Put it on the 12 cookies. Now take 12 more cookies. Right side up. Cover with more wax paper. Put them in the freezer. Let them stay there for about two hours. Take them out and then you eat them. I hope you like my recipe
