Ingredients
  • 2 cucumbers, peeled and chopped (or grated)
  • 1 garlic clove, minced
  • 4 c. plain yogurt
  • 1/2 c. water
  • 1/4 tsp. salt
  • 2 tbs. dill, chopped

  • finely chopped walnuts

Directions
  1. Mash the garlic with salt and then add to it grated or finely chopped cucumber.
  2. Add these to a large bowl and pour in the yoghurt.
  3. Gradualy add water - the thickness is down to taste and also depends on how flavourful the yogurt you are using is.
  4. Add additional salt to taste.
  5. Add finely chopped walnuts and fresh dill as well as a couple of tea spoons of oil (sunflower or olive oil is typically used).
  6. Best if refrigerated at least two hours before serving to allow flavors to mix.

A good friend of mine who is from Bulgaria gave me his recipe for this. His didn't include the nuts and oil and did include a splash of dill pickle juice. He recommends using Mountain High yogurt and I'm pretty sure he said this brand contains Bulgarian culture. YUM!!!

This looks fantastic. I have everything but fresh dill, do you think dry dill will work?

Yes, it should taste just fine with dry dill. In fact, when I usually make it, I don't have any dill and it still tastes very good. :)

There is a type of tarator known as 'suh tarator', or dry tarator, which is prepared with very thick yoghurt, without adding water. You can also substitute pickles for the fresh cucumbers.

This is also sometimes called 'snezhanka' (Снежанка) salad, meaning Snow White, as in the fairy tale.
