My husband said you hit the nail on the head with this one. Served as a condiment for our Middle Eastern feast. Very good with Kibbee. Lisa

    I cut the recipe in half and used 1 cucumber along with homemade Greek yogurt and the fresh mint. I did not add the salt or pepper and probably should have. I allowed it to chill for several hours. Goes very well with Scandinavian food.

    I used 1 cucumber that equaled 1 1/2 cups minced. I let them drain in a colander of some water. Used low fat yogurt. Seasoned with salt and pepper. Served with left over grilled chicken ina toasted pita with lettuce. Yum!

    This is probably not my thing. It was very fresh and tasty but just not what I thought it would taste like. This type of food is new to me. It seemed kind of watery so I would suggest maybe squeezing more water out of the veggies before adding the yogurt. Maybe my cukes were just really juicy or maybe it is supposed to be that way. The flavor of the mint with the cukes was very refreshing though.
