Can you feel the summer vibe? Every time I make this Easy Balkan Tzatziki Salad, I feel like it is 35 degrees out there. Turkey, Greece, Bulgaria, you name it. Cucumber, fresh dill, thick yoghurt and nuts are totally refreshing combination, super after the whole day on sun. I just love it. In Bulgaria, the salad is called Snezhanka (snow white) or its popular variation Tarator soup, which is more liquid, finished with olive oil and nuts. Yummy!

Easy Balkan Tzatziki Salad is suitable for kids from the age of 3, because of the presence of garlic and vinegar.
