March has come again and although the spring is going to start officially on the 22nd of March, I feel spring everywhere around me. First of March was Baba Marta – Bulgarian holiday, when everybody presents to their relatives and colleagues small pieces of adornments made from white and red yarn – the so called Martenitsi. People wear them from the first of March until they see a stork, which is around the end of March.
Early spring is the
time to enjoy the typical Bulgarian green salad – light, tasty and easy to
prepare. We do not chop the green salad in Bulgaria, we slice it thinly and
so it absorbs easier the vinegar and sunflowers oil. Boiled eggs are also often
added to this salad.
- 1 head of lettuce
- 1 bunch of radishes
- 3 green onions
- ½ cucumber (optional)
- 3 Tbsp vinegar
- 3 Tbsp sunflower oil
- ½ tsp salt
Preparation:
Wash lettuce and
cut into very thin strips, slice radishes and cucumber and chop the green
onion. Mix all ingredients into a salad bowl, add vinegar, oil and salt. Serve
immediately.
Feels like a spring! The salad looks healthy and fresh.
