Variations on this tangy, creamy salad are enjoyed throughout the Middle and Near East. Both Jewish and Arab Israelis would enjoy it as part of a meze (hors d’oeuvre/salad) platter. Traditionally, you’d use drained whole-milk yogurt. To achieve the richness of the original without the fat, I use a mixture of no-fat yogurt and no-fat sour cream.
