Ingredients
- 1/2 container of non-fat plain yogurt (about 16 oz)
- 3-4 Persian cucumbers (depends on how much crunch you want)--you can also use English cucumbers but the sizes vary so adjust amount accordingly
- salt & pepper to taste
- Also if you want experiment with these extra ingredients which I personally love:
- 1/3 cup walnuts (again add as much as you want)
- 1/3 cup raisins (same as walnuts--as much as you want in there)
- 1 Tablespoon dried mint
Directions
- put 3 cups of non-fat yogurt into a bowl
- wash & peel cucumbers and dice into small cubes
- add cucumbers to yogurt and mix in
- add salt and pepper to taste
- Also:
- break up walnuts into smaller pieces using your hands and add to mixture
- add raisins and mix in
- put Tbs. of dried mint into palm, separate leaves from tiny sprigs (discard the sharp sprigs), add to mixture and mix in

this is how my grandmother always made maast-o-khiar, it's not the most traditional way to make it but I think it's tastier than just yogurt and cucumbers by themselves. The walnuts give it an extra crunch.I've cooked/tasted this recipe!

August 31, 2008I love this salad, very refreshing, sometimes, I add just a bit of fresh garlic. Probably not too authentic then. =)
August 14, 2008This looks like a very interesting twist on the traditional yogurt/cucumber dip. Can't wait to try it!
