Recipe instructions

Step 1

Step 1
How to make daikon salad? Prepare the necessary ingredients. Take cucumbers that are fresh, juicy, firm and not limp. 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 according to your taste. If you don’t have natural yogurt, you can replace it with low-fat sour cream or even vegetable oil.

Step 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.

Step 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.

Step 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.

Step 5

Step 5
Chop the walnuts into small pieces with a knife.

Step 6

Step 6
Boil the eggs hard, cool and peel. Cut the eggs into small cubes.

Step 7

Step 7
Place grated cucumber, daikon and boiled eggs in a bowl.

Step 8

Step 8
Season the salad with salt, pepper and mix.

Step 9

Step 9
Place the salad on a plate, top with yogurt, sprinkle with walnuts and serve. You can add the yogurt and nuts along with all the ingredients and toss right away, but I like to drizzle the dressing on top of the salad. Bon appetit!
