I am totally impressed with this recipe! It tastes exactly like the cucumber and yogurt salad I've been served in many middle eastern restaurants. When I wrote up my shopping list I neglected to write down how many cucumbers to purchase. As a result I only bought two. The only change I made was to lighten up a bit on the mint and it turned out just fine. Read More

I did not like these at all the salt caused the cucumbers to be watery which watered down the yogurt sauce. I will not try these again. Read More

My SO and I enjoyed this recipe. It was refreshing. I followed the recipe instructions except for the cucumber preparation. I peeled seeded and sliced them thicker and I did not salt them. They were not watery at all. If any water did form on top I just poured it off. Thanks for the recipe! Read More

I loved this recipe! Actually I used dill instead of mint and it was great. It's a good side dish with spicy foods. Read More

This wasn't very good. I tried serving it over some fresh greens but in the end there was just too much garlic and not enough flavor from anything else! Read More

I took fresh produce from my organic garden and I turned this into a cucumber and yogurt chilled soup. I used dill from my garden instead of mint and topped it with fresh diced green onions. I followed the recipe and loved it:) very fresh clean and healthy. Read More

By subbing dill for the mint and adding just a tablespoon of chopped onion and a splash of lemon juice this went from good to tremendous! Deleting the olive oil and using nonfat yogurt makes it so healthy, it's scary! Read More
