Ovcharska salata

(Ovcharska Salad, Овчарска салата, Shepherd's Salad)

Ovcharska salata is a simple variation of the famous Shopska salata. Essentially, it is Shopska salata (cucumbers, tomatoes, onions, peppers, and cheese) with the addition of mushrooms, eggs, and ham. The salad is typically tossed with vegetable oil, left to rest for a few minutes, and it is then ready for consumption.


It is especially popular in summer due to its refreshing flavors and the usage of seasonal vegetables.
