Shopi


Shopska salad is a Balkan appetizer made from tomatoes, cucumbers, onion, raw or roasted peppers [preferably roasted], and sirene [white brine cheese]. Consumed with rakia.

Shopska salad derives its name from the regional group called Shopi residing in Bulgaria, Macedonia and Serbia. The Shopi are credited with developing the original recipe.
