Method

  1. 1 Peel the cucumber, cut it into small cubes, and marinate with salt for 10 minutes.
  2. 2 Squeeze out the excess water from the cucumber; any remaining water will cause the yogurt to thin out after half an hour.
  3. 3 Soak raisins in warm water for 10 minutes until they soften.
  4. 4 Beat the yogurt until smooth, then mix in the cucumber, raisins, and green onions.
  5. 5 Rub the dried mint leaves between your fingers, then sprinkle them in and mix gently.
  6. 6 Refrigerate for 1 hour, then sprinkle with crushed walnuts and drizzle with olive oil when serving.
