Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup Golden California Raisins
  • 1 large English cucumber seeded and thinly sliced, about 2 cups
  • 1 medium celery stalk thinly sliced, about 1 cup
  • 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar or white wine vinegar
  • ½ clove of garlic
  • 1 cup plain Greek yogurt preferably full-fat
  • ½ cup raw walnuts roughly chopped
  • 1 teaspoon fine sea salt
  • 2 tablespoon finely chopped fresh mint + more to serve
  • 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil to drizzle before serving
  • ½ cup pomegranate seeds to serve optional

Instructions
 

  • Add 2 cups of thinly sliced cucumber and 1 cup of thinly sliced celery to a large mixing bowl. Use a mandoline for more uniform slices, if desired. Use a teaspoon to scoop out the cucumber seeds before slicing.
  • To the vegetables, add 1 cup of Golden California Raisins. If the raisins have been sitting in the cabinet for a bit and seem a bit sad, soak them in warm water for about 3 minutes to plump, then drain by squeezing them in between your palms.
  • Grate the garlic clove directly on top of the mixture, then add 1 tbsp apple cider vinegar and 1 tsp of fine sea salt.
  • Pour over the Greek yogurt and toss well to coat.
  • Add the walnut pieces and the finely chopped fresh mint and give it another good stir.
  • Taste and adjust seasoning as needed.
  • To serve, transfer the salad to a platter, drizzle with extra virgin olive oil,sprinkle the pomegranate seeds on top, and garnish the plate with a small bouquet of fresh mint leaves.
