Wow!  This went together so quick. I served it with grilled shrimp for a simple lunch with my girls group. A total hit!  Thanks so much for the inspiration. ?

Wow!  Such lovely and refreshing  soup!  It's going to be on my list of summer favs!

I really enjoyed this, beautiful fresh flavors, but I got a little overzealous with the jalapeño and started with 1/2 so it was a strong bite for most of the people in my house. Sooo I decided to thicken it with more yogurt and use it as a pasta salad dressing that I also put your ras el Hanout chicken in. Delicious! Thank you so much for your food excellence.

Delicious and refreshing! Thanks for sharing

Great recipe! Cool refreshing and love the heat! I added a bit more cucumber and herbs.

This was a fantastic recipe for using up a somewhat under-ripe melon and tastes very gourmet! Because the melon I had wasn't too sweet I subbed melon for the cucumber, adding a small cucumber only to cut down on the spiciness when I put in a little too much jalapeno, oops. 

I've been recommending your site to others. It's the best recipe site I have come across by far! The recipes are very tasty and I love how nourishing they are (I have only made the vegetarian ones). I'm not missing eating out at all thanks to this site. I may never go back to eating out again! I feel a bit badly that you make all this content available for free. You might consider putting up a contribution link on your site since others like me will never order from the affiliate links from evil Amazon.

If there's one thing I could change about your site, it would be if you could get someone to copyedit it. I know the perfect is the enemy of the good, but I do find that my enjoyment of the recipes is marred by numerous English errors in them.

I absolutely loved this recipe!!  Refreshing, complex flavor combination, and delicious.  I had cooked a lot with cilantro lately and not with mint, so I omitted the cilantro and added some extra mint to give myself a break from cilantro.
