Background

If you need a quick an easy side dish that goes well with grilled/fried meat & fish the recipe of this courgette and radish salad could come handy. It’s ready under ten minutes and ideal for parties and picnics too. I normally serve it with grilled koftas, shish kebab or Greek meatballs (keftedes) tacked in a grilled pita bread.

Ingredients

1 large handful of radishes ( about 200g)
1 small courgette
3 Tbsp Greek yoghurt
3 spring onions
½ lemon, juiced
Salt and pepper
1 clove of garlic, minced
1 Tbsp chopped dill
Drizzle of olive oil

Instructions

Thinly slice the radishes and put them in a sieve. Shave the courgette into thin, lon strip using a vegetable peeler. Put these in the sieve too. Drizzle with the lemon juice, season with salt and mix well. Let it stand over a bowl for at least 10 minutes, or up to 30 minutes if you have time. Drain, and put them in a serving bowl.
Finely chop the spring onions, add to the bowl.
Mix the yoghurt with the dill and garlic.
Pour this over the salad, toss well and season with freshly ground pepper. Taste, and add more lemon juice of needed.
Serve with olive oil drizzled over the salad.
