Hi @Rezgar , thank you for sharing this traditional dish with us. The mix of ingredients seems very tasty, and as you said perfect for summer as it’s so refreshing.

I’m curious on how do you eat it, as it looks liquid. Do you eat it with a spoon? Do people also dip their breads on it? I’m compelled to do that with every dish with a sauce so I would definitely dip a bread on it if it were me.

Hi @Rezgar ,

Thank you very much for introducing Abdo Khiar to us! It looks like the prefect summer food - light and refreshing. Is it salty or it’s sweet because of the raisins?

It reminds me a lot of a traditional cold soup that we have in our country, it’s called Tarator. It doesn’t have that many ingridients, but we also have it as a summer dish, usually appetizer or a light dinner. It consists of yogurt, cucumbers, garlic, salt, dill and walnuts. Here is a picture of a Tarator that I made a few days ago:
