In reply to janet baron. Mmm, I like the sound of walnuts for garnish, thanks for letting us know, Janet! Next time I will try this with sour cream :)

A favorite but my son’s recipe is regular plain yogurt & half sour cream too, I use a container of each, no water & about equal amounts of lemon juice & olive oil 2-3 tbsp each in blender with garlic to taste 2-3 cloves; or spoons of garlic granules, cannot imagine this soup without garlic! Fresh or dried dill to taste at least a tbsp of that herb & salt to taste maybe half tsp. Greek garnish is walnuts which absorb garlic flavor! Sooooo good & good for you! Good anytime of year!

In reply to Nina. Hi Nina. I had no idea this is a traditional Bulgarian soup, we just make it in summer because it's refreshing and easy to make. I have a recipe for Bulgarian Banitsa - of course using ingredients I can find in our local shop, but we love it! Thanks for your comment.

Dear Julia,
Your website is very nice and it’s great to see a traditional Bulgarian soup (called tarator) among the recipes. The original recipe is a bit different- use smaller amount of dill instead of parsley and garlic instead of onion. As Bulgarian yogurt is sour anyway there is no need to put lemon but a few drops of sunflower oil instead make the soup balanced. And indeed, it is super refreshing in hot summer.

This recipe was so refreshing! I will definitely be making this all summer long.
