Ingredient note
Herbs and spices can carry nickel, so a low nickel diet limits them, but the small amount of oregano used to season this recipe is likely fine. If you prefer to always avoid oregano, please tap it and change its rating to Red.
½ tsp ground cumin
½ tsp kosher salt
¼ tsp black pepper
1 tbsp olive oil

1 cup plain greek yogurt
½ english cucumber, grated and squeezed dry
1 tbsp fresh lemon juice
