Crisp cucumber, peppery radish, tender eggs and fresh green onions in a light sour cream dressing — this refreshing salad is spring in a bowl. At just 38 kcal per 100 g, it’s the perfect light lunch or a bright side for grilled meats. If you enjoy egg-based lunches, my savory egg patties with green onion are another easy favorite.
Ingredients
- 4 hard-boiled eggs
- 200 g (7 oz) fresh cucumber
- 125 g (4.4 oz) fresh radishes
- 50 g green onions
- 100 g (1/3 cup + 1 tbsp) sour cream, 10% fat
- Salt to taste
Instructions
- Dice the boiled eggs, cucumber, and radishes.
- Finely chop the green onions.
- Season everything with salt, dress with sour cream, and toss until evenly combined.
Tips
- Chill the salad 15 minutes before serving — the flavors meld and it tastes even crisper.
- Use 10% sour cream as written, or swap in plain Greek yogurt for extra protein. For more fresh salad ideas, Allrecipes has a wonderful collection of spring salads.
- Add the green onions last and toss gently so they stay bright and fresh. Pair it with homemade turkey sausages for a light lunch, or these juicy chicken patties with herbs on the side.
