"I'm sure I must have copied this from somewhere, as it was scribbled on the back of an electric bill from 2003, but I have no earthly idea where. It makes a nice change from a regular side dish or salad, and works well in summer."

This is a gem of a recipe. I made it at 1PM, left it in the fridge until dinner 6PM and the flavours blended beautifully. I used President's Choice Greek Yogurt - it is lovely and thick. It worked well.  The touch of mint comes through. It will be made often Thanks Felix for posting this recipe
