Egyptian Garlic Yogurt Cucumber Salad

Recipe #200504 | 7 min | 2 min prep | add private note

This is a very refreshing little salad. I always make it along side many different dishes, goes great especially with anything barbequed. I also make it as a snack, eating half of it each time! Serves up great with slices of warm pita bread. A very garlicly salad, if you want you can decrease the garlic to your liking. Don't be turned off by the yogurt, even if you dont like yogurt, once the salad is made, there is no taste of yogurt at all. Smooth, creamy and refreshing. Enjoy!

This is excellent! I followed the recipe as written, but swapped the dill for mint, as is the Lebonese way. Very tasty!

    We liked this but mine was more of a sauce then a salad. I used a mini-chopper for the cucumber and it liquified a bit. I added extra garlic and garlic powder too. I doubled the recipe but I have a lot leftover now. Next time I will make it as stated. Thanks for a good "sauce"
