Suzma salad
Description
I first came across this simple suzma salad recipe in an old Soviet-era cookbook. And recently, when my relatives from the village somehow managed to send me some green radish, I remembered it and decided to try making it. The result was a very unusual, yet delicious and hearty festive salad. As for suzma—I usually buy it at the market, but if you can't find it, it can easily be substituted with sour cream, katek, or matsoni. Give it a try!
