maybelles mom — there’s an idea! Something with mint and cucumber would be quite refreshing on a hot summer afternoon…

Yum. It looks delicious. And, excluding the parsley, I think it could have the makings of a delicious drink.

Abby O - I’ve been meaning to make these Thai quick pickled cucs with rice wine vinegar, soy, and a touch of sesame oil — sounds similar to what you’re describing (which is delicious — one of my favorite things at Thai restaurants!)

Maggie - I agree! Im thinking of doing a tarragon/lettuce salad this week –perhaps the tarragon will be overpowering, but I suppose there’s only one way to find out!

denise — lucky you! if you have a lot, you might consider drying some for tea; if you can’t wait, a favorite drink of mine is a fresh peppermint tisane with a spoon of honey… yum…

Evita — oddly, I love flat leaf parsley, but don’t really love the curly kind — strange, eh? perhaps you should try sub-ing cilantro for the parsley?

katie — I’ve made versions of tzataziki, but none seem to live up my favorite greek restaurant, Greek Corner in Sommerville, MA (which unfortunately is on the other coast from me now!). Do you have a good method/recipe?

i saw the title and thought you’d been making tabbouli :). i made some myself tonight - was absolutely delicious.

most of my salads have herbs in them as i buy enormous bunches for a $1 a piece at the markets here. so fresh and delicious. my current favourite is a simple lettuce, tomato, onion and cucumber salad with an olive oil and lemon dressing and a very generous amount of fresh oregano. delicious!

have you tried making raita/tzataziki, jen? one’s greek, the other indian, but the’re based on similar ingredients (if not texture), mint, garlic, yoghurt, cucumber. one of my favourite taste combinations.
