Saltibarsciai is a popular cold soup in Lithuanian cuisine. It is made from sour cream, beetroot or cucumber, dill, green onions, and sometimes potatoes, boiled together and then pureed. Saltibarsciai is typically served in the summer months as a refreshing starter or main dish, and is often accompanied by boiled potatoes or a slice of black bread. The beetroot version of the soup is usually pink in color, while the cucumber version is light green. The soup is tangy, creamy and has a light, refreshing taste that makes it ideal for warm weather dining.
