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.

Kosher salt and freshly cracked black pepper
1/2 cup sour cream

Steps:

CUCUMBER SALAD WITH YOGURT



Cucumber Salad with Yogurt image

This is my kids' favorite cucumber salad. Sometimes I add even more yogurt. They literally are slurping up the dressing. If I make it for adults, I add fresh dill but my kids sadly don't like anything green in their salads.

Tips:

  • To ensure the best flavor and texture, use fresh, firm cucumbers and fragrant dill. For an enhanced taste, choose Persian or Lebanese cucumbers.
  • For a tangy twist, use full-fat yogurt. If vegan, opt for a thick, creamy plant-based alternative like Greek-style yogurt.
  • For optimal results, chill the yogurt and cucumber mixture before serving. This allows the flavors to meld and the cucumber to retain its crispness.
  • If using fresh sour cherries, pit them before adding them to the salad. You can use a cherry pitter or a small paring knife to remove the pits.
  • For a colorful presentation, garnish the salad with fresh dill, rose petals, and a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil.

Conclusion:

This refreshing cucumber yogurt salad with dill, sour cherries, and rose petals is a delightful fusion of flavors and textures. With its vibrant colors and tangy-sweet taste, this salad is perfect for a light lunch, a summer picnic, or as a refreshing side dish.
