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 Hamada's Authentic Egyptian Kusherie 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 Potato and Pea Sambusa (Somali) 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 Chicken With Sumac(Jujeh Al Sammak), Saffron Rice With Cashews and Raisins and Quinoa Tabouli 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.

It is important to remember to drain the yogurt first or else the salad will be watery. (I forgot to drain the yogurt.) Used two varieties of cucumbers and a big change: fresh pineapple mint from our herb garden. This was delicious on lamb/beef hamburgers with lettuce, tomatoes and red onion! Thank you!

This was really nice... I added rasins to it since thats how my mama made it. and i did add more mint than the recipe asked for... and it tasted wonderful. I served this with Turkish Eggplant (Aubergine) Pilaf (Patlicanli Pilav) and it went really well. thanks!!
