Tarator is a traditional Macedonian dish. It is usually served as an appetizer.

• 2 cucumbers (about 12 cm each)
• 500 gr. plain milk yogurt
• 1 tbsp. salt
• 1/2 tbsp. vinegar
• 3 cloves garlic, minced (or garlic powder)
• 50 gr ground walnuts (optional)
• 10-20 gr oil (optional)
• parsley (for garnish, optional)

 

Wash and peel cucumbers. Chop thinly. Put into a mixing bowl. Sprinkle with salt. Put yogurt, vinegar and garlic in the mixing bowl. Mix well. Optionally add oil and/or walnuts. Place mixture in deep serving bowl. Garnish with parsley, if you like. Serve cold.

The oil is not optional and you shouldn't put any vinegar in it!

I guess you'll have to decide on this one by yourself.
