Best Snow White salad in New York
“A Bulgarian salad named for Snow White—predominantly white, made from strained yogurt, cucumber, garlic, and dill.”
What the real thing tastes like
Snezhanka salad or Snow White salad (Bulgarian: салата Снежанка) is a traditional Bulgarian salad, which is made of strained yogurt, cucumber, garlic, salt, usually cooking oil, dill, sometimes roasted peppers, walnuts and parsley. Sometimes it is called milk salad (млечна салата, mlechna salata) or dry tarator salad (сух таратор салата, suh tarator salata). Snezhanka (Snow White) salad derives its name from the fairy tale character Snow White. The reason for the name is the predominantly white color of the salad.

Snezhanka salad is a Bulgarian classic built on a foundation of strained yogurt, its pale creaminess studded with cucumber, garlic, and fresh herbs—dill and parsley bringing green punctuation to the dish's snowy white palette. The salad takes its fairy-tale name from that whiteness, sometimes bolstered by roasted peppers, walnuts, or a good glug of oil. Known also as milk salad or dry tarator, it's a study in how simplicity and restraint can make a salad feel complete.
