About the Recipe
For the beginners this salad is a very good start.
The yogurt that is used in this salad must be natural and unsweetened. We recommend the Greek yogurt because it will give a fantastic creaminess to the dish.
In the salad spearmint is used but mint could also be used. It doesn’t matter the herb that is used but preferably use it fresh.
