2 Lebanese cucumbers, peeled, seeded and diced

Cook's notes

Oven temperatures are for conventional; if using fan-forced (convection), reduce the temperature by 20˚C. | We use Australian tablespoons and cups: 1 teaspoon equals 5 ml; 1 tablespoon equals 20 ml; 1 cup equals 250 ml. | All herbs are fresh (unless specified) and cups are lightly packed. | All vegetables are medium size and peeled, unless specified. | All eggs are 55-60 g, unless specified.

Instructions

Tip shanklish, chicory, watercress, onion, radishes, cucumbers and tomatoes into a large mixing bowl. Add the lemon and oil and lightly season with salt and pepper. Gently toss the salad and serve straight away with grilled or roasted meats or as a mezze dish.
