      I really love this simple and refreshing side dish. I usually prefer it thicker, as a salad versus a soup. I recommend eating it immediately upon preparing it because I find the garlic flavor becomes too strong by the next day. I guess an alternative to this would be to soak the cucumbers and sliced garlic in salt water or several hours (like a wilted cucumber salad) then drain thoroughly, toss out the garlic and then add the yogurt, dill and walnuts. Just a thought to make leftovers less "leftover" :-)

      Loved it!! I had tarator when I was in Bulgaria and have been craving it for some time now! Thanks for the recipe!! Didn't have any fresh dill so I just used some thym , still worked out great

      My Bulgarian husband was thrilled when he came home and this was chilling in the fridge. (Yes, I actually served it with Rakiya, too!) Toasted almonds can also be used in lieu of walnuts. Either way, AWESOME!

      This is a fabulous recipe -- but the walnuts are not optional! They are what makes this recipe different and special. Also, I put the whole business in a food processor and make a smooth soup. Garnish with a little chopped chive, dill, cucumber, or tomato. Fabulous.

      This recipe has become one of my favorites. It is easy, delicious, and so cooooool. I modified it by blending the cucumbers, as I am not a chunky-type soup eater. Also I use it as a drink, carry it in a thermos, or drink it from a soup cup. I usually don't carry a spoon with me. At home I leave some chunks of cukes and decorate with additional chopped dill, which I love. This is a winner and a keeper.
