Whisk the yogurt with cold water and salt until smooth.
Dice the cucumbers small and finely chop the dill.
Crush the garlic and add it to the yogurt mixture.
Stir in the cucumber, dill, walnuts, and olive oil.
Rest the tarator in the refrigerator for at least 10 minutes and serve cold.
💡 Tip: Do not salt the cucumbers too early; they can release water and thin the yogurt more than needed.
🍽️ Serving suggestion: Serve in cold bowls with extra walnuts and dill, alongside grilled vegetables or rice.
