Daikon salad with cucumber, egg and yogurt

Step-by-step preparation

Cooking time: 40 mins

1. STEP 1

   

   How to make daikon salad? Prepare the necessary ingredients. Take fresh, juicy, firm and not limp cucumbers. You can replace walnuts with others, such as pine nuts. You can use regular Activia type yogurt or replace it with Greek yogurt. Choose the fat content of yogurt to suit your taste. If you don’t have natural yogurt, you can replace it with low-fat sour cream or even vegetable oil.

2. STEP 2

   

   Wash the cucumbers, dry them, cut off the ends. Grate the cucumbers on a coarse grater, or even better, on a Korean carrot grater. The skin, if it is not rough, damaged or bitter, does not need to be cut off.

3. STEP 3

   

   Place the grated cucumber on a sieve and allow excess liquid to drain. If the cucumbers are too full of moisture, you can lightly squeeze them.

4. STEP 4

   

   Wash the daikon, dry it, peel it and grate it. If the daikon tastes too sharp-bitter, place it in a bowl, sprinkle with salt, stir and leave for 15-20 minutes. Then rinse with clean water and squeeze lightly. This will take the bitterness out of the daikon.

5. STEP 5

   

   Chop the walnuts into small pieces with a knife.

6. STEP 6

   

   Boil the eggs hard, cool and peel. Cut the eggs into small cubes.

7. STEP 7

   

   Place grated cucumber, daikon and boiled eggs in a bowl.

8. STEP 8

   

   Season the salad with salt, pepper and mix.

9. STEP 9

   

   Place the salad on a plate, top with yogurt, sprinkle with walnuts and serve. You can add the yogurt and nuts right away along with all the ingredients and toss right away, but I like to drizzle the dressing on top of the salad. Bon appetit!

After inspecting my refrigerator, I once again asked myself, what else can be prepared from these products? There are eggs, cucumbers, and daikon. In general, I have everything for a daikon salad with cucumber, egg and yogurt, I decided. No, not everything. There is just no yogurt. Well, you can replace it with mayonnaise. After boiling the egg, washing and peeling the vegetables, I started cooking. It didn't take long. I quickly grated cucumber and daikon, cut an egg into cubes, and chopped walnuts with a knife. I combined everything on a plate, added salt, added mayonnaise, and stirred. All. Salad ready! Juicy, tender, crispy, for lunch, dinner, just as a snack - now this salad has been on my menu for a long time! Thanks for the recipe!

The combination of daikon with fresh cucumber is a classic salad option for me, but this is the first time I’ve added nuts. At first it seemed that they wouldn’t quite fit into the overall picture, but after trying them I realized that everything had its place here. I supplemented the yogurt dressing with mayonnaise, without it it was a bit bland. Thanks for the recipe, Maria. The salad is tasty, juicy, and thanks to the egg, it’s also filling.
