Bulgarian Salad

Bulgarian Salad

I've been avoiding this Bulgarian salad recipe for so long, but yesterday I really wanted it. I had all I needed. The salad contains the ingredients I'm allowed to eat in the evenings in a weight loss diet (of course, in reasonable amounts). So, I started making it. We all liked it a lot. It's filling and the dressing with yolks and vinaigrette makes it very tasty. And the cheese on top is the "icing on the cake", it just makes it more beautiful and much more delicious.

It's perfect for a dinner (if you eat it without bread), hearty and interesting. I would also recommend this salad for any occasion. It's handsome and it also has a pretty fresh taste thanks to the vegetables. Just make sure to serve it immediately, so that the vegetables won't get to release too much juice.

Sprinkle over with telemea (Romanian cheese). I grated it on the small holes side, to make it as fine as possible.

It would be best to serve the salad immediately after mixing it with the dressing, or at least within 15 minutes.

Enjoy!
