Ingredients
  • * 1 strained Greek yoghurt
  • * 1 spoonful of extra virgin olive oil
  • * 1 (or more) pounded clove of garlic
  • * 1 pinch of salt
  • * 1/2 (big) cucumber
  • * 2 small carrots
  • This is the first time I made it. The second time, I added the following ingredients:
  • # 1 cup of finely chopped purslane
  • # A pinch of hot chilli
  • # A pinch of paprika

Directions
  1. Peel the cucumber and grate it and squeeze to drain excess fluid.
  2. Peel and grate the carrots.
  3. Finely chop purslane,
  4. Peel and pound the garlic in a pestle and mortar together with the salt.
  5. Combine all the ingredients and add oil, chilli, paprika and yoghurt and mix well. Refrigerate at least 30 minutes before serving, always keeping it covered to avoid smell in fridge.
  6. Tip: If you do not have drained yogurt, place the yogurt in a large square of double cheesecloth. Tie the cheesecloth over the sink and let any excess liquid drain for about 4 hours.

Silverqueen, thanks for the voting.


Works for me!


I think our tastebuds are on the same page.. ;-)~ We make a cucumber, purslane and yogurt salad at least once or twice a week in the summer. The Lebanese version uses mint and lemon along with the garlic. I love the hot chile idea. Thank you...
