Why You’ll Love Bulgarian Salad
This salad is cool and refreshing and great to have in your repertoire for spring and summer. You can easily customize this to make it dairy-free, and add a few hard-boiled eggs🥚on top to amp up the protein. This makes a wonderful desk lunch or side dish for a barbecue. Everyone will love it.
How to Prepare Bulgarian Salad
🥬 First, stack the lettuce leaves, roll them tightly (just like a cigar), and then thinly slice the lettuce with a sharp knife. The thinner the better! 🥣 Transfer the lettuce to a serving bowl. 🧂 Next, add the green onions, radishes, cucumbers, yogurt, and olive oil to the bowl and then season with good salt. 😋 Finally, mix until well combined and taste for seasoning and creaminess, adding more yogurt or salt if needed. Enjoy!
