How To Make khiar bil na'na

Step 1

Wash the cucumber(s) well then peel and grate. You can either grate by hand or use a food processor.

Step 2

Drain off the juices. I use a salad spinner to drain the liquid from the cucumber(s).
Step 3

Mix the drained cucumbers with the remaining ingredients. Set aside for about 30 minutes then serve.
