Shopska Salad

The salad is named after the people living in the Sofia area in Bulgaria (the shopi). It’s a great salad and easy to prepare.

Tarator – Bulgarian Cold Cucumber Soup

This cold soup is among Bulgarians favorite foods for the summer. It is served as a first course instead of a salad or between meals as refreshment. You might even see it served in a glass. Most men here say it goes great with a glass of cold rakiya (Bulgarian grape or fruit brandy) or Ouzo.

Creamy Cucumber & Onion Salad

This recipe has been in my family for years. It is the best recipe if you are trying to get rid of all your cucumbers in your garden. Anyone that will try this recipe will become addicted!

Basque Salad

A tasty and refreshing salad. Nice to prepare ahead for company. An adaptation of a recipe from Marilyn Perzik on Allrecipes.com. I like to sprinkle the croutons on individual servings just before eating.
