Cucumber With Feta Cheese Dressing

"According to David Scott's "Middle Eastern Vegetarian Cookery", this easy salad is from Egypt, and is often served with the bean salad, "ful medames". I love it - it is fresh and summery, and delicious on a hot day. Feel free to reduce, or even omit, the onion if you don't like to eat it raw - the recipe still works well without it. Posted in the hope of joining the North African and Middle Eastern Tag game :-)"

  3. I just realized I never reviewed this recipe! I made it for a group of friends for lunch (I am allergic to feta so my portion did not include feta) and they all loved it! Very easy and very good. Thanks Syrinx!
     
  4. A good, basic salad which I prepared in less than 5 minutes. Used fresh oregano from the garden and red onion for color. Thank you for sharing. cg ;)
