4 servings
- 1 cup plain whole-milk yogurt
Ingredient notePlain yogurt has no fiber, so it leaves very little residue. Choose a product without added fruit, seeds, or fiber. If you prefer to always avoid yogurt, please tap it and change its rating to Red.
- ½ medium cucumber, peeled and coarsely grated
Ingredient noteLow residue diets limit raw vegetables and their skins. The cucumber here is peeled and the amount per serving is small, so it is likely low residue. If you prefer to always avoid cucumber, please tap it and change its rating to Red.
- 3 tbsp fresh mint leaves, finely chopped
- 1 tsp fresh ginger, finely grated
Ingredient noteLow residue diets limit seeds and coarse spices. Only a trace of fresh fresh ginger is likely Low Residue. If you prefer to always avoid fresh ginger, please tap it and change its rating to Red.
- ½ tsp ground cumin
Ingredient noteLow residue diets limit seeds and coarse spices. Only a trace of ground cumin is likely Low Residue. If you prefer to always avoid cumin, please tap it and change its rating to Red.
- ¼ tsp ground turmeric
- 1 tbsp fresh lemon juice
Ingredient noteFruit juice contains far less fiber than whole fruit, so the lemon juice used here leaves little residue. If you prefer to always avoid lemon juice, please tap it and change its rating to Red.
- ¼ tsp salt, or to taste
- pinch of cayenne pepper (optional)

- 1
Place the grated cucumber in a fine-mesh strainer set over a bowl. Sprinkle with a pinch of salt, toss to coat, and let stand for 10 minutes, then press firmly with the back of a spoon to squeeze out as much liquid as possible. Discard the liquid.
