Reviews
This dish has such great flavor. Between the Za’atar, the mint, and the lemon, it has an interesting profile. this is a great summer dish that I will be fixing often. My whole family liked it.
Lovely paired with Molly’s chicken shawarma tacos!
A new favorite just in time for all of the cucumbers from our garden!
Excellent As my husband loves cucumbers and radishes, so I was looking for a different way to prepare…..I saw Molly on TV this morning and made it and it was a winner. Easy too! I got to use the mint out of my garden as well. Shared some with neighbor and she loved it as well.
Sooooo good, so easy, so easy to adjust with random ingredients I have in my fridge. I like to add a pinch of cayenne! I love everything Molly Yeh comes up with. Every recipe I’ve tried from her had become a staple of my cooking.
Made it for my aunts birthday dinner. Huge hit flavor was different from most cucumber salads. Loved it
loved the freshness to this
Love the freshness of this recipe – and the Za’tar adds a wonderful flavor!
Enjoyed the salad. Refreshing change in the middle of winter.
