30 minutes
Balkan-style flounder salad is a refined dish that combines the freshness of vegetables with the tenderness of seafood. The delicate-tasting flounder is fried to a golden crust, giving the salad a rich aroma. Crunchy cabbage, tangy pickles, and sweet apples create a unique balance of flavors, while chicken eggs add creaminess. Dressed with natural yogurt, the salad becomes light yet nutritious, perfect for a summer lunch or dinner. Bulgarian cuisine is known for its harmony between simplicity and sophistication, and this salad is a wonderful testament to that. It works well as a standalone dish or as an accompaniment to fish or meat, bringing with it the atmosphere of the Mediterranean and Balkan traditions.
