Thank you for sharing!! I have been to Bulgaria a few times, and have many friends from there. It’s been 10 years since I have been, I miss the food so much and decided I wanted shopska, snejanka, and kufteta, si now I’m making them. 😋 blagodarya mnogo!!

Best shopska I ever tasted was in sunny beach right on the beach middle of summer! amazing 😃

[@AnOldSchoolHome]

Shopska is a fantastic salad! I just had one a few hours ago 😍

[@MidwestGardener]

The salad sure looks good! I've never tried that combination, but I can imagine in my mind what it would taste like.

[@AnOldSchoolHome]

Thank you Jim! It is really good! And with your tomatoes it’s gonna taste just wonderful!

[@MidwestGardener]

I bet it would. I made a salad with tomato, cucumbers, onion, garlic, and basil this morning. We will have to try it your way one of these days.

[@AnOldSchoolHome]

I hope you enjoy it 😊

[@UT33200]

That looks really, really good as always. I think the roasted peppers would make it really stand out. Thanks for the share!

[@AnOldSchoolHome]

Thank you guys! I really appreciate it 😍

[@elsalisa146]

Hi love this recipe and looking forward to more recipes.

[@AnOldSchoolHome]

😍 thank you 😊 I appreciate it 😍

[@ranal7935]

that looks very tasty.....and this type of food is what is so good this time of year, because the ingredients are just hanging around out in the garden.......i have been making something similar pretty much all summer........i keep a bag of grilled sirloin steak strips on hand , and then at lunchtime i take a trip through the garden and fill my basket with whatever is most plentiful. today it was cow-horn peppers ,green and red bell peppers , jalepeno peppers , green and red tomatoes, and onion.....i just warm the steak strips up in a little butter , and put the chopped garden-goodies on top , with half a lime.and of course garlic...........great video sasha......i am hungry again......my mouth is watering.................happy late labor day.

[@ranal7935]

p.s. i have been wanting to try the roasted bell pepper , but i always forget..........

[@AnOldSchoolHome]

That sounds so delicious Allen! It’s so wonderful to be able to walk out and harvest straight from the garden 😍

[@AnOldSchoolHome]

Ah, you should! I just came back from Bulgaria and had them every day in different recipes 😊

[@debbieorangeyouasweet1302]

Sounds absolutely delicious. Have you ever added an acid such as a citrus or vinegar? If so what would be best? Also which is closer to Bulgaria feta cheese cow, sheep or goat? Was bread part of your upbringing? I love learning of history and different cultures mealtime traditions. An example in states eating a large breakfast has been so pushed upon us compared to some countries have only 2 meals a day and breakfast is very light such a tea and toast. Thank you again and disregard if questions to personal.

[@AnOldSchoolHome]

Hello Debbie! I personally don’t like vinegar or lemon on this salad. I do like tomatoes with balsamic vinegar and basil, so you could try this. We do eat big breakfasts in Bulgaria and yes, we do eat a lot of bread 😁 I personally eat breakfast at noonish and skip lunch. And I quit eating bread a couple of years when I was trying to loose weight and never got back to eating it. And no, your questions are not too personal 😊 I’ll be back in Arizona this weekend and will try to make a coherent video from all the clips I filmed here in Bulgaria. I’ll be posting my travel videos from Bulgaria on my Sasha DeKasha channel. Thank you so much for watching! Best, Sasha

[@AnOldSchoolHome]

And I forgot, Whole Foods and Sprouts sell Bulgarian yogurt 😍

Hi Sasha watch you prepare your Bulgarian salad "Shopska" brings back so wonderful memory's of the Greek island of Corfu }} i spent a vacation on this Island at a hotel called The Golden Beach Hotel at a resort called Agios Georgios "north of the Island" every morning Dina the Hotelier she would make this salad with an option of Greek yogurt Sasha it was outta this world it would set you up for the day OK Sasha i cannot find this same tasting yogurt anywhere .. my housekeeper/ cook Alishia cannot find it down on our farmer's market sell yogurt but not anywere near as tasting as true greek yogurt i do get Dina to send me true Greek olive oil made by her own sweet hands she has her own olive groves and orange trees to make marmalade that to is fantastico..i get a hankering to go back and see Dina and her wonderful Country one day maybe ??? but right now i must thank you my dear for your recipe and the memory of a wonderful holiday thanks again Sasha hugs .........Ed

[@AnOldSchoolHome]

Thank you so much Ed! I’m so happy my video brought such wonderful memories to you! You could go to Whole Foods - they sell Bulgarian yogurt. Make sure to buy the whole and not the non fat one. Thank you so much for watching Ed!

[@edwinthompson6510]

OK Sasha thanks for your info on the yogurt front... will certainly look into this.. From what my housekeeper has gathered Bulgarian yogurt is virtually the same as the true Greek yogurt in every way ... i know a lot of supermarkets have started selling so called Greek and Bulgarian yogurt which is not the true real yogurt but now with your help i shall be having my Greek/ Bulgarian salad / yogurt Shopska breakfast "Yeah man" all the best Sasha..........Ed

[@AnOldSchoolHome]

Thank you Ed! You too 😊

[@edwinthompson6510]

Hi Sasha if "shove comes to push" who better than you Sasha a Bulgarian girl to know all there is to know about salad Bulgarian style and the yogurt to complement it thanks...Sasha.. hugs ....Ed

[@AnOldSchoolHome]

You are welcome Ed 😊

[@ChapatiMan]

What other food do I eat it with?

[@AnOldSchoolHome]

You can have it with just about any main dish. My favorite combination is with fried meatballs or moussaka (both recipes are on my channel).

[@ChapatiMan]

@@AnOldSchoolHome thank you

[@AnOldSchoolHome]

You are very welcome 😊

[@billyb5059]

So it took to the 1950s before somebody thought to put a onion tomato and cucumber in a bowl lol

[@AnOldSchoolHome]

🤣😂🤣

[@Johnskarman]

This is also called greek salad... XD

[@AnOldSchoolHome]

Yanni Scott Yanni! This is how you start a war 🤣😂🤣🇧🇬 🇬🇷

[@123skillax]

Not exactly . Greeks make it a little different . Also the meaning behind the salad plays part and why it was created.
