Recipe - Salatit Khyaar Bi Laban - Cucumber With Laban (K D)

2 One half cup Laban (yoghurt)
1 cup Peeled chopped cucumbers
One half teaspoon Salt
3 Cloves garlic
1 teaspoon Dried mint

Mint gives this summer salad a particularly refreshing taste. Good with
kibbeh but not with fish, on account of the laban.

Break the laban curd with a spoon and stir until smooth. Combine with
cucumbers. Work garlic to a paste with salt and mix it with a spoonful of
laban before adding to the cucumber mixture. Add mint.

Finely shredded lettuce may be substituted for cucumber when out of season.
