Turkish salad stands out for its freshness and simplicity, making it a popular choice for summer menus. This cool, crisp, and refreshing salad is made with small, young cucumbers and served with a yogurt dressing featuring spicy mint and dill. Fresh herbs lend a unique aroma to the dish, while red onion adds a sweet note with a hint of piquancy. Turkish salad pairs well with Mediterranean cuisine and complements both chicken and fish. It's best to prepare this cucumber salad just before serving.

Wash the small cucumbers, then slice them into half-rings 3-4 mm thick.

Peel and thinly slice the red onion into half-rings, then add to the cucumbers.

Wash fresh mint leaves and dill greens, pat dry to remove excess moisture, finely chop, and add to the vegetables.

Prepare the dressing. In a separate bowl, combine Greek yogurt, sour cream, olive oil, and lemon juice.

Add the pressed garlic clove, sugar, salt, and black ground pepper to taste to the dressing. Stir.

Mix the ingredients so that the vegetables combine with the dressing.

Serve the prepared Turkish cucumber salad immediately after making it, garnished with mint leaves.

Be sure to try this delicious and light salad; it will be a wonderful addition to your main course. Enjoy your meal!

Tsvikli is a Ukrainian Easter snack made from beets and horseradish. It is traditionally served with meat dishes for Easter and Christmas. The spicy and aromatic snack perfectly complements the taste of homemade baked ham, sausage, aspic, baked duck or chicken. Tsvikli is quick and easy to prepare, you just need to prepare the beets in advance. Vegetables can be boiled until cooked or baked in foil in the oven. I like the latter option more, baked beets are more juicy and healthy. The spiciness of tsvikli can be adjusted to your taste by adding more or less hot horseradish.
