on Nov 23, 2021, Updated Apr 24, 2024 When my family and I lived in Greece 🇬🇷 we ate tzatziki with every meal and it’s one dip I will never get sick of. In Bulgaria, we have our own yogurt dips, salads, and cold cucumber soup known as Tarator, so our cuisines are very similar. Most countries around the Balkans, Mediterranean, and Middle East have their own take on yogurt dips and salads that are similar. It makes me incredibly happy to see similar versions shared around the world. Food is love and food is what unites us all 🌎❤️.
