This is a light, refreshing, chilled soup that’s very easy to make. Perfect for a hot summer day when you don’t want to cook.

½ bunch mint
1 bunch scallion, roughly chopped
½ small red onion, peeled
½ cup extra virgin olive oil
â…“ cup champagne vinegar
6 ounces plain lowfat yogurt

1 cup ice
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste

This was delicious! I did a couple of things differently: I soaked the walnuts for an hour, while the cucumbers were draining. To the soup I also added salt, garlic, and a splash of hot sauce. Very tasty!
