Today you are a… YAT

As some of you are aware, YAT – known here on Our Shiputzim for his edifying and elucidating comments – is IY”H celebrating his bar mitzvah this weekend.

In honor of the occasion, I was asked by YAT’s mother – an occasional Our Shiputzim commenter herself – to prepare a cucumber salad for Shabbat.

Here’s YZG’s sister’s recipe - with a few slight modifications which reflect the Shiputzim family’s tastes:

Lemon-Cucumber Salad

Ingredients

• 8-10 cucumbers, sliced thin in the food processor
• 1 onion, sliced thin in the food processor
• 2-3 scallions, very coarsely chopped
• 1/2 – 2/3 cup sugar
• 1/2 cup lemon juice
• 1 cup water
• Parsley, chopped
• 1/2 tsp salt

Directions

Place the vegetables in a bowl. Prepare the dressing, and pour over the vegetables. Mix, and chill for several hours before serving.

The entire Our Shiputzim staff wishes to extend a very warm mazal tov to YAT and his parents, grandparents, siblings, aunts, uncles and cousins!
