This Bulgarian dish combines the cooling properties of cucumber with the creaminess of Greek yogurt and the aromatic flavors of garlic and dill. It’s easy to prepare and requires no cooking, making it an ideal choice for a quick and healthy meal.
Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Wash the cucumber thoroughly. Optionally, you may peel it if you prefer a smoother texture.
- Grate the cucumber using a box grater or finely chop it into small pieces. Place the grated cucumber in a bowl and set aside.
- Peel the garlic cloves and mince them finely. If you prefer a milder garlic flavor, you can crush the cloves slightly instead of mincing.
- Remove the dill leaves from the stems and chop the leaves finely. Set aside for garnishing.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the Greek yogurt and water. Whisk them together until you achieve a smooth, homogeneous mixture.
- Add the grated cucumber, minced garlic, and chopped dill to the yogurt-water mixture. Stir well to ensure all ingredients are evenly distributed.
- Add the salt and olive oil to the mixture. Stir thoroughly to combine all the flavors.
- Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or transfer the mixture to an airtight container. Refrigerate for at least 1-2 hours, allowing the flavors to meld and the soup to chill.
- Once chilled, give the soup a final stir. Serve in bowls, garnishing with a small sprinkle of fresh dill on top for an extra touch of freshness.
Tips:
- Use fresh and firm cucumbers for the best texture and flavor.
- Finely grate or mince the garlic to ensure it blends well into the soup.
- Chill the soup in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before serving to enhance the flavors and refreshment.
- For a thicker consistency, use less water or add more Greek yogurt.
- Garnish with extra dill, a drizzle of olive oil, or chopped walnuts for added texture and flavor.
- Adjust the seasoning to your taste by adding more salt or a splash of lemon juice if desired.
