I've made this dish many times in the summer as a side dish with grilled fish and chicken and it's very popular. I've used a variety of dried fruit including craisins and packages of mixed fruit but I don't think I've ever used currants because I don't have them on hand and don't use them for much else. I also typically use hazelnuts rather than pistachios since they're easy to find already shelled. This is a regular summer recipe for me.
I made this for an office potluck. It got huge raves all around. Leftovers kept well and still tasted great a couple of days later.
Delicious, easy, good for sharing at a picnic. The cucumbers were a bit slimy, but they did add a crisp element.
