Radish salad

90 minutes

Radish salad is a light and refreshing dish of Russian cuisine, perfect for the spring-summer season. This salad, filled with the crunchy texture of radishes and the tenderness of salad leaves, has a subtle, slightly spicy flavor with a tangy hint of lemon juice. Its history dates back to traditional Russian village cuisine where radishes were an accessible and healthy vegetable. Dressed with yogurt sauce and green onions, the salad gains a creamy softness that harmonizes with the spiciness of radishes. It pairs excellently with meat and fish dishes and also serves as a wonderful light snack on its own. Served chilled, it is especially enjoyable on hot days.
