Appetizer: Cold Cucumber Soup with Walnuts
2 cucumbers, peeled, seeded and finely chopped
2 tsp. salt
2 cups plain yogurt
1/3 cup walnuts, chopped
1 Tbsp. fresh dill
1 clove garlic, minced
2 Tbsp. olive oil
Sprinkle salt over cucumbers and allow to sit for 15 minutes. Rinse salt off and combine cucumbers with yogurt, walnuts, dill, garlic and olive oil and stir. Add salt to taste and chill for at least 1 hour before serving. You may garnish with more dill if you wish.
The Skinny: Use fat free yogurt.
