Crisp lettuce, radishes, cucumber and scallions get a sharp vinegar dressing, with hard-boiled egg, olives and fresh herbs on top.

Fresh spring vegetables keep Bulgarian Green Salad crisp and lively. The simple oil-and-vinegar dressing coats the leaves lightly, while egg and olives add enough richness for a substantial side.

Dry the lettuce well and dress only when ready to eat. Thin radish slices distribute their peppery bite, and a small amount of dill goes a long way against the mild cucumber.

Method

  1. Cover eggs with water in a small saucepan, bring to a boil and simmer for until hard-cooked. Cool under cold water, peel and cut into wedges.

  2. Combine lettuce, radishes, cucumber and scallions in a wide bowl. Whisk apple cider vinegar with olive oil and salt.

  3. Toss vegetables lightly with the dressing, add egg wedges and black olives and scatter with dill and parsley. Serve immediately while the leaves are crisp.

Forkue tips

  • Taste a radish before slicing; very peppery ones can be cut paper-thin for a gentler bite.
