"This is a very simple, but different kind of salad that goes great with a lot of dishes. It is also a nice dish to make during Ramadan, either for suhr or uftur! Enjoy :)"

I made it just as the recipe, it tasted very good and it was simple, I would only reduce the amount of yogurt if I eat it as salad, I think it would be very good as dressing for fish too, maybe with a few more species, thanks for this recipe

I made this to accompany the Quinoa Tabouli as another member recommended. It is the only cucumber recipe that one of my children will eat but it's not a favorite of any of my family members. -
I just took the photo and I came to write the review,I turned around and my lovely daughters managed to almost finish it.so I'm only eating what on the bottom,mostly yogurt.There are some cucumbers floating in it.I didn't peel the cucumbers and I used garlic powder for the benefit of my daughters. -
This is a huge hit in our home. We make it without garlic, and we add lemon juice and sometimes some lemon zest. I use either Turkish/Greek style yogurt, or strain some regular plain yogurt for a few hours. Because my little girl thinks that she doesn't like cucumbers, I mince them instead of slicing-deceitful yet effective! We especially like it served on mini wheat pitas aside some lemony steamed kale and cannellini beans.Thanks for posting this recipe -
Good and easy. I actually did not use garlic the first time but did add some freshly squeezed lemon juice and the fresh mint garnish which I feel makes this. I served this with Recipe #331676 without the sauce. It was very good. The second time I added the garlic and did not add lemon juice and served it along with the filling of Recipe #386552 on white Basmati rice as part of a vegetarian meal. The third time I served this without garlic or mint but added some freshly squeezed lemon juice, along with Recipe #181865, Recipe #136535 and Recipe #140618 for a lovely Lebanese/Palestinian meal masha Allah. I will make this again insha Allah more likely without the garlic and with fresh lemon juice. Made for extra Ramadan Tag.

I am 22 years old, married, and have a beautiful daughter named Layla. I was born and raised in Ohio, but now live in the Virgin Islands. My family is from Palestine, and I have visited over the summers many, many times. I loveeee food from Palestine, so I've decided to share some of my favorite recipes with you. I hope you like!
