Krazy Kitchen Mom Tips
- Be sure to use fresh herbs for this recipe – they are the key ingredient to the fresh bright flavor.
- English cucumbers have a thin skin that is sweeter than a standard variety cucumber so be sure to leave the skin on when you cut them.
- Go easy on the fresh garlic. Start by using a small half clove. Taste and add the other half it desired.
