OOh, this was good--with grilled chicken and roasted veg. I did the cucumbers on the mandoline and shredded the romaine as if for slaw. Delicious!!!

Had this with recipe#356004 last night and enjoyed very much. Nice light salad that reminded me of Tzikie (sp?) my only changes was to use thinly sliced sweet onions (all I had) and baby spinach leaves instead of Romaine - again all I had. Used Greek Style yogurt as I felt it wouldn't be as watery with the cucumbers. I think next time I might even add a teaspoon of vinager for an extra tang, and we will be making this again. Made for PAC Spring 2011

A lovely, refreshing salad which would go well with any Middle Eastern meal. Very easy to prepare, and the balance of ingredients is exactly right. Reviewed for Pick A Chef, Fall 2007.
