Over 40 years ago my mom and I did "Europe on $5.00 a Day", spending 10 weeks in various countries. One stop was Bulgaria to visit my grandmother's brother and sister. There I discovered Tarator, a cold yogurt based soup made with yogurt, cucumbers, dill, garlic and walnuts. A summer staple there, it's amazingly refreshing. Inspired by this I've taken the yogurt out and replaced it with almond milk. I used commercial unsweetened almond milk for this but you can certainly make your own by soaking 1 1/2 cups almonds overnight, then drain and place them in a blender with about 5 cups water. Puree for about 5 minutes and then strain.
