Ingredients
  

  • 1 cucumber chopped
  • 4 cloves of garlic minced
  • salt to taste
  • 1 cup plain yogurt
  • 1/4 cup walnuts ground
  • 1 tsp. olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon mint leaves or a teaspoon of dried mint

  • Place the cucumbers in a bowl.
  • Mince the garlic and add it to the cucumbers.
  • Sprinkle on the salt and mix it all together.
  • Pour in the yogurt. If the yogurt is not thick enough, you can use 1/2 cup of sour cream and 1/2 cup of yogurt - blend them well before you pour the yogurt over the cucumber mixture.
  • Mix it all well and top it with the ground walnuts.
  • Sprinkle on the olive oil and add the mint.
  • Chill before serving it in an individual cup-sized bowl.
