Chunky Cucumber RaitaPin itFollow us 148.4k

This is a delicious, refreshing low-carb and low calorie side to serve with barbecued meat, especially lamb and beef. You should try this raita with our Low-Carb Lamb Koftas, Greek Lamb Souvlaki or Chicken Seekh Kebabs!

This Low-Carb Cucumber Raita recipe makes four side servings, or up to 8 servings in case you are serving it as a dip, in which case it's better to grate the cucumber rather than creating ribbons.

We all have different dietary needs so it's only natural that you may need to adjust the macros in this recipe. Don't eat dairy? Try this raita with coconut yogurt! You can make any adjustments directly in the KetoDiet App by cloning any of the recipes from my blog and customizing them to fit your macros and preferences.

I changed the way I ate in 2011, when I was diagnosed with Hashimoto’s, an autoimmune disease that affects the thyroid. I had no energy, and I found it more and more difficult to maintain a healthy weight.

That’s when I decided to quit sugar, grains, and processed foods, and to start following a whole-foods-based ketogenic approach to food.
