This is a huge hit in our home. We make it without garlic, and we add lemon juice and sometimes some lemon zest. I use either Turkish/Greek style yogurt, or strain some regular plain yogurt for a few hours. Because my little girl thinks that she doesn't like cucumbers, I mince them instead of slicing-deceitful yet effective! We especially like it served on mini wheat pitas aside some lemony steamed kale and cannellini beans.Thanks for posting this recipe

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 Recipe #331676 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 Recipe #386552 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 Recipe #181865, Recipe #136535 and Recipe #140618 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.

I am 22 years old, married, and have a beautiful daughter named Layla. I was born and raised in Ohio, but now live in the Virgin Islands. My family is from Palestine, and I have visited over the summers many, many times. I loveeee food from Palestine, so I've decided to share some of my favorite recipes with you. I hope you like!
