Greek Yogurt with Walnuts & Honey

Both sweet and tangy, smooth and crunchy - Yiaourti Me Meli (greek yogurt with honey and walnuts) - is all about contrasting flavors and textures. On both my trips exploring the Greek Islands, temperatures soared - and I loved ending my meals on a cool, fresh note with this dessert.

This recipe is so simple it can be prepared in minutes - though I recommend taking the time to toast the nuts to intensify their flavor ! Full-fat Greek yogurt is traditionally used for its creamier, richer texture, as well as thyme honey; you could even add a dash of cinnamon to sweeten the pot. High in protein and omega 3’s, yiaourti me meli can also make for a nutritious snack or breakfast

Looks like we have one last little burst of summer (supposed to be 89 degrees this week) - cool down with this refreshing sweet treat !
