I love how simple this recipe is - just stir chia seeds into Greek yogurt and let it sit for a few minutes. The combination of berries, cucumber, and fresh mint sounds really refreshing. I appreciate that the ingredients list is so short and accessible. The 5-10 minute resting time for the chia seeds is a nice touch. Walnuts on top add a nice finishing detail. I'm looking forward to trying this for a light lunch sometime!
