| Tarator - Bulgarian Cucumber Soup |
Everybody has their favorite food or dish for different time of the year.
I love cold soups..... Yes, there is nothing better then a bowl of cold cucumber soup also known as Tarator on a hot summer day.....no matter what anybody says....Cold Cucumber Soup is the total heat buster for me.....
I must admit that not many people around me share my love for Cucumber Soup, but comes summer I make a big bowl of Tarator once a week.

| Tarator |
Tarator is traditional Bulgarian soup.
When I was growing up my family used to vacation in Bulgaria at the Black Sea every summer and Tarator soup was one of my favorite dishes at the local restaurant.
Since I am very far from the Black Sea I have to make my own Tarator every summer.
Ingredients:
- 1 Long English Cucumber (chopped)
- 1 cup Walnuts (lightly roasted & finely chopped)
- 4 Cloves Garlic (finely chopped)
- 2 Tbsp Fresh Dill (finely chopped)
- 3 cups Balkan Style Yogurt
- 1 cup Skim Milk
- Salt
STEP 2: In a large bowl combine chopped cucumber, walnuts, finely chopped fresh dill, chopped garlic, yogurt and milk. Mix well together and salt to taste.
STEP 3: Cover the bowl and put it in the fridge to chill. Serve well chilled.
STEP 4: Before serving sprinkle with some walnuts and chopped dill.

Tip: Many recipes for Tarator puree cucumber and garlic together before mixing it together with the rest of the ingredients. I prefer my Tarator chunky.
