The reason I want to pass on such a simple recipe is that today, 9 days after I made it, the bit of that Tzatziki I still have is still perfectly ok. I would expect it to be extremely watery and disgusting by now.
Green lentil, mushroom, raisin and cucumber salad, with a brinjal pickle and yoghurt dressing. A long name for a green lentil salad which is very simple to put together and utterly delicious
