Drain the yogurt in a fine sieve. This is best done overnight. Reserve the yogurt water for now. Lightly toast the chopped nuts in a dry pan and stir them into the drained yogurt along with the raisins. Set aside a few raisins and chopped nuts. Peel the cucumber, halve it lengthwise, scrape out the seeds, and cut into pieces about 5 mm wide. Mix these into the yogurt and season with salt and pepper. Let it marinate in the refrigerator for about 2 hours. If the salad is still too firm, stir in some of the drained yogurt water. Garnish with the nuts and raisins when serving.
