Boil the chicken egg, cool under running water and remove the shell. For the traditional recipe, you need to cut it into small cubes, although there can be many cutting options, everything will depend on your culinary imagination. The radishes are washed and also cut into small circles. Cucumber – in strips or in a semicircle. Chop the green onions and mix with the rest of the ingredients.
We will season the radish salad with cucumber and egg with a mixture of cream and sour cream. You can first salt the vegetables and then pour in the sauce. In another version, mix the sauce with salt and pepper, and then pour this emulsion over the salad.
Place a small lettuce leaf on a plate. It is advisable if it is pre-washed and thoroughly dried. There is no need for excess moisture in a fresh spring salad. The sauce will do its “wet” job anyway. Place the main ingredients mixed with sour cream and cream on top of the lettuce leaf. Add a sprig of parsley on top - decorations never harm salads.

How to make radish salad with cucumber and egg, cherry tomatoes and corn kernels
First you need to prepare and chop the vegetables. All of them are washed under running water and dried thoroughly. Cut the radishes into circles, cut the cucumber into strips, and divide the cherry tomatoes into two halves. As usual, boil the egg until tender and cool.
While the quail eggs are cooking, make the marinade for the tomatoes and radishes. Mix salt, vinegar, sugar and water in a separate bowl. Place radish pieces and cherry tomato halves into this mixture. Let the vegetables marinate for fifteen minutes. When the marinating process is complete, remove the vegetables and place them on paper towels. No extra liquid is needed.
The recipe for salad with radish, cucumber and egg, cherry tomatoes and corn implies a multi-layer structure. First of all, place the pickled tomatoes and radishes on the very bottom of the plate. Sprinkle finely chopped Chinese cabbage leaves on top. The next layer will be basil greens and nuts ground in a mortar almost to flour. A little salt. And again in layers: tomatoes, cucumber strips, corn.
The final stage is halves of quail eggs. This will be both a decoration for the salad and, perhaps, the most satisfying ingredient in the dish. Sprinkle linseed oil on top and the salad is ready.
Radish salad with sour cream, egg and green onions
A crisp and bright salad consisting of radishes and fresh herbs will successfully dilute a tender boiled egg and sour cream. This dish is prepared from simple and affordable products, and the composition is minimal.
If desired, you can add cucumber or tomatoes here, but this is not at all necessary. Even without any additions, the dish will be very tasty.
I recommend it to connoisseurs of proper nutrition and light salads. Despite its low calorie content, it is quite filling, nutritious and very healthy. You can serve it as an addition to lunch or even as a full meal (if you're on a diet).
Highly recommend!
What we need:
- 10-12 radishes
- bunch of green onions
- small bunch of lettuce leaves
- bunch of dill
- 3-4 tbsp. sour cream
- 3 eggs
- salt to taste
Cooking steps:
Wash the lettuce leaves and dry them to remove moisture. We cut it into wide strips or simply tear it with our hands.
All harvested greens also need to be washed and excess moisture removed. Finely chop the dill. If its stems are soft, they can also be used. It is better to cut off the hard ones and throw them away.
Cut the onion into slices, along with the white part (it is especially juicy).
Wash the radishes well, remove the tops and tails. There is no need to clean it. But if it is very bitter, it is better to remove the peel. Cut into circles or half-slices (depending on the diameter of the vegetable).
Place the eggs in a metal ladle or small saucepan. Fill with water until it completely covers them. Add half a tablespoon of salt and place on the stove. After the liquid boils, simmer over medium heat for 7-10 minutes. Then the yolk will become hard.
Do not put raw eggs into already boiling water - the shell will immediately crack and the contents will come out.
Cool, peel and cut into cubes.
