Steps

  1. 1
    Line a sieve with muslin, tip in the yoghurt and let it drain in the fridge for at least 4 hours until very thick.
  2. 2
    Dice the cucumbers finely, salt them lightly and leave 15 minutes, then squeeze out the water. Wet cucumber turns the salad to soup.

    Crush the garlic with a pinch of salt to a smooth paste.
  4. 4
    Fold the cucumber, garlic, most of the dill and most of the walnuts into the strained yoghurt.
  5. 5
    Stir in the oil and check the salt.
  6. 6
    Chill 30 minutes, then serve topped with the reserved walnuts, dill and a thread of oil.
