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.

  • Choose the right cucumbers. English or Persian cucumbers are best as they have fewer seeds and a thinner skin.
  • Use fresh dill. Fresh dill has a more robust flavor than dried dill.
  • Use full-fat yogurt. Full-fat yogurt will give the sauce a richer, creamier texture.
  • Season to taste. Add salt, pepper, and garlic powder to taste.
  • Chill before serving. The sauce will thicken and the flavors will meld together better if you chill it for at least 30 minutes before serving.
Cucumber dill yogurt is a versatile sauce that can be used as a dip, dressing, or spread. It is also a healthy and refreshing way to add flavor to your favorite dishes. Whether you are looking for a quick and easy snack or a healthy addition to your next meal, cucumber dill yogurt is a great option.
