The sun may still be a little chilly, but there are happy spring days ahead.
Here is a wonderful, colorful spring salad that lets my mind race ahead to the possibilities of picnics, lawn games, and barbecues.
You’ll need:
- 2 bunches radishes
- 3 hard-boiled eggs
- 1 bunch scallions/spring onions (makes about 1 cup chopped)
- 5-6 T fat-free plain kefir (depending on consistency)
- 6 T low fat sour cream
- 2 T olive oil (I like using a ‘green’ variety for this, like a Greek olive oil with lots of flavor)
- salt, pepper
1. Wash radishes, trim greens, and chop finely lengthwise.
2. Chop the eggs and the scallions to about the same size.
3. Make the dressing – in a bowl, whisk together sour cream, kefir and olive oil. Add salt and pepper to taste.
4. Gently combine all the ingredients in a large salad bowl, add dressing, and serve immediately.
ps. Don’t forget to vote for the ingredient of the month – I’ll announce the winner later this week! So far, almonds are unexpectedly in the lead!
Been lucky enough to receive a few more awards over the weekend – a big thank you to Nina and Karista!
That salad is so beautiful. And thanks for planting the idea in my head that I use kefir in salad dressings (where have I been, that I haven’t done that before!). My radishes and spring onions should be ready for plucking in a couple of weeks – I’m going to save this recipe for then.
How great! I’m happy that it will come in handy for you, Karen. And yes, I love kefir in dressings 🙂 just a bit tart, just the right amount of creamy.
oh yeah, lovely and our radishes are almost ready. in fact except for the olive oil i can make or grow everything for this salad on my property! A WINNER!!! excellent c ps VOTE FOR GARLIC EVERYONE!!! garlic iS Good! c
That is so exciting!!
and I’m all for garlic haha, but trying to be an objective arbiter :).
The radishes sound tasty in this salad!
Thank you!
Creamy, tangy, crunchy… it’s got it all.
I agree 🙂
Oh, this sounds delicious.. it actually brought to mind egg salad sandwiches which I am a huge fan off.. I’m picturing this between two thick slices of bread:) xo Smidge
I agree, this would be wonderful on a sandwich too! Clearly, in my head, I am thinking picnics:)
Soon.. it will be picnic season!!
Very much looking forward to it!
Yum, I want to try this recipe with Daikon as that is what we have here in Asia.
I love daikon! I think that would be terrific as well.
I love how fresh and inviting this sounds 🙂
Thank you, Tandy!
That’s true, its still cold over here but spring is just coming ahead.
Your egg salad with spring onions and radishes with kefir is just lovely for a spring day.
This reminds me of a egg salad.. but so much better. I love that you included radish and scallions in this dish. I just love this
Thank you, Kay!
This looks so easy and delicious, but with a combination of products I would never have tried if it wasn’t for you.
Thank you, Anne!
