My husband had mouth surgery and I went on a hunt for foods he could manage without teeth. This was amazing even though my version was rather dependent on what I had in the house and the fact that I’m lazy. I didn’t peel the cucumber, grate the garlic or slice the scallions. I also had a bit of extra left over scallions and threw them in as well along with 30 g dill paste (I adore dill) and 2 t dried mint. I’m actually planning on making it again today along with the same “mistakes.”
