First course I made for my Andy’s birthday dinner… and I sliced a big chunk of my finger and couldn’t cook the rest 
. All big chefs are bound to have kitchen accidents right? I chopped off half of my nail this time, gonna take at least 2 months to grow back .. *sob*sob* Anyway, this is the salad… the sauce is really good for almost evertyhing I think 
This is an adapted recipe from this site.

- 1/2 lebanese cucumber, finely sliced into rounds
- 1 tbsp black mustard seeds, toasted
- 1 large handful parsley (or mint) leaves, washed and chopped
- 300ml natural yogurt
- Small lemon, juiced
Method
- Toast black mustard seeds in oven @ 350 degree Fahrenheit, or dry-fry in frypan, until fragrant.
