Total time: 10 min

Ingredients: 1/2 cup walnut hearts, toasted and finely chopped; 2 cups plain yogurt (not Greek yogurt); 1 1/2 cup ice water; 1/2 to 3/4 of a seedless English cucumber, finely chopped (about 1 to 1 1/2 cups chopped), plus a few cucumber slices for serving; 1 cup chopped fresh herbs (parsley, basil, dill, mint); 1/2 cup gold raisins; Salt; 3/4 tsp sumac, more for later

Tasty cold cucumber soup with fresh herbs and toasted walnuts will do the trick! Think of this as a cucumber gazpacho with a cool, creamy yogurt base. This is great to prepare in advance so it has time to chill in the fridge. The perfect start to a summer meal like chicken kabobs or grilled lamb chops (more ideas up in the post.)
