Sommersalat - Summer Salad with Smoked Cheese
This salad is summer. My mom made this fresh and crispy salad when the first radishes were big enough to harvest in our vegetable garden. Summer salad is made with a speciality cheese from the island of Funen, a smoked fresh cheese. Summer salad has a mild smoked flavor and is filled with fresh chrispy vegetables.
Serves 6-8
Ingredients:
Dressing:
- 100-150 g rygeost Danish smoked cheese
- 100 g creme fraiche or sour cream
- 1 tablespoon mayonnaise
- ½ teaspoon sugar
- salt & pepper to taste
Filling:
- 10-12 medium radishes, quartered and sliced thinly
- ½ english cucumber, quartered and sliced thinly
- a good handful finely chopped chives
Directions:
Mix the dressing, seasoning it with salt, pepper and sugar. I like a mild dressing, with a distinctive smoke flavor. Add all the vegetables and serve the salad on a slice of Danish rye bread. Sprinkle with a little extra chives.
Enjoy!
