This recipe is a sign to start putting grapes in your salads!!! They make all the difference, especially in this cucumber salad!

I wanted to create a refreshing, simple and extra tasty salad and I think I succeeded. Also, I’ve had a bit of an obsession with zaatar lately and you’ll see, it takes the dressing to another level!
