CUCUMBER YOGURT SALAD WITH DILL, SOUR CHERRIES AND ROSE PETALS



Cucumber Yogurt Salad With Dill, Sour Cherries and Rose Petals image

Crunchy cucumber, cool yogurt and the surprise of tart cherries make this salad alluring, especially when paired with a hot, savory stew, soup or tagine. During Ramadan, the month of the year when observant Muslims fast during daylight hours, it is delicious for iftar, the meal that breaks the fast at sunset. Try it with harira, the traditional Moroccan iftar dish: a fragrant lamb-tomato soup with chickpeas, lentils and vermicelli. Add a pretty bowl of dates - the food Muslims traditionally eat first to break the fast - and the meal is complete. Both spice and craft shops sell food-grade dried rose petals, or you can make your own by hanging a bouquet of (organically raised) roses upside down to dry.
