Tangy creamy and addictive. This labneh and makdous salad is the best way to enjoy the flavors of the middle east

For most people, the word okra conjures up one of three images:
Gumbo
Indian food
Slime (and not the fun slime that seems to be everywhere you look nowadays)

Well for today, I want to add another picture to that group. One that is just as tasty as the first two yet has nothing to do with the third.

Isn’t it funny how a certain smell, flavor or image can conjure up a world of memories?

Somehow it is never the elaborate recipes or the fancy meals, it is a bowl of soup in your mum’s kitchen on a cold day, a cup of peach icetea across the table from a dear friend, a fresh loaf of bread from your grandmother’s oven, the cookies you made for your kids’ class and stayed up till 2 in the morning decorating and packing them, the salad you made for your best friend and forgot the parsley.
