3
1–2 cucumbers, diced (diced is far better than grated, although at many restaurants they grate them)

6
Vinegar, to taste
7
Oil, to taste
8
A couple of spoonfuls chopped walnuts (optional)
Instructions
Step-by-step guide to making this recipe
1
Mix all the ingredients, using enough water so the soup is about the consistency of milk
2
Serve cold in a soup dish, adding a couple ice cubes if it's not cold.
Notes
- •If you use all of the above ingredients without the water and strain the yogurt until it becomes half in volume, you can make a salad. It is referred to as snezhanka (Snow White) or mlechna salata (yogurt salad). The main difference is that people traditionally use pickles/gherkins for snezhanka and fresh cucumbers for mlechna salata.
