Easy desert-yoghurt with honey and walnut



I had been in Athens 6 yrs ago and loved Greek food which is so tasty and light.Most of Turkish and Greek recipes are similar and even sometimes the dish names.Dolmaki in Greek is dolma in Turkish and Caciki is cacik.I can give you many examples like that.
I would like to give you a Greek desert recipe which is very light and easy.

7 tsp Greek yoghurt
3 tsp honey
some walnut

Take a small desert ramekin.Put yoghurt and add honey on the top.Sprinkle some walnut on the desert.Enjoy.
