This salad is delicious on its own or as a side dish with lamb, chicken, fish (especially salmon), lentils, grilled vegetables or even a hamburger if you can get your mind off of french fries, which isn’t easy. The salad stays nice, and the cucumbers crunchy, for a good four days in the refrigerator.Try making your own yogurt, homemade laban, with my recipe here.
2tablespoonsfresh mint, chopped or torn in small pieces
4pickling cucumbers, quartered and thinly sliced
Instructions
In a medium bowl, combine the yogurt with the garlic, salt, dried and fresh mint. Stir in the cucumbers. Taste to see if it needs more of anything; I usually want more mint. And it’s done!
Flavors in this develop over time, so it's best to make this a few hours ahead and chill.
