Top with walnuts and drizzle with honey.
Scatter 30g of roughly chopped walnuts over each bowl of yogurt. Drizzle 1 tablespoon of honey over the top of each serving.
TIPDrizzle the honey in a zigzag pattern for even distribution — no one wants a big blob in one spot. - garnish
Finish with a tiny pinch of sea salt and serve immediately.
A small pinch of flaky sea salt on top brings out the sweetness of the honey and the richness of the walnuts.
TIPDon't skip the salt — it's the difference between good and great.
What to keep in mind.
5 tips from the recipe — small details that make a real difference to the final dish.
- 1Use full-fat Greek yogurt for the creamiest texture and best flavor balance with honey.
- 2Toast the walnuts in a dry pan for 2-3 minutes to deepen their nutty flavor and add crunch.
- 3Let the honey sit in warm water for 5 minutes if it has crystallized, so it drizzles smoothly.
- 4Assemble just before serving to keep the walnuts crunchy and the yogurt cold.
- 5Use flaky sea salt like Maldon — its delicate crystals dissolve slowly for a subtle savory hit.
Adapt it for your goals.
