Hello Firuza, 1. Cook chick-peas in water until tender then set aside. 2. Combine yogurt, cucumbers, walnuts, raisins, onion, chopped mint, garlic, cumin, olive oil, and salt in a bowl. 3.Add chick-peas then mix all together 4. Add toasted pita bread and serve immediately.

If you didn't like to serve this salad immediately!, put it in refrigerator for short time but don't add the toasted pita bread this will cause the bread to melt up
