INGREDIENTS

550 g salad cucumber
500 g unpeeled flesh of sour apples
200 g celery stalks
juice of 1 lemon
10 g finely chopped dill
20 g finely chopped chives
salt
½ teaspoon ground allspice
pepper
200 g white Greek-style yogurt

INSTRUCTIONS

1
Wash the cucumbers, pat them dry, cut them lengthwise, and scoop out the seeds with a spoon. Then, cut the flesh into 0.5 cm cubes. Cut the apples into cubes of the same size.
2
Bring 3 liters of water to a boil in a pot and season it with 1 tablespoon of salt. Cut the celery stalks into 0.5 cm cubes and immerse them in the boiling water for 15 seconds. Then, immediately transfer them to a larger container with ice water and let them cool. Let the cooled celery drain thoroughly in a colander.
3
In a bowl, mix all the prepared ingredients, season with salt and pepper to taste, and refrigerate to chill. Stir the salad before serving.

Tip

The container with water should be filled with at least 3 liters of ice water, to which you can add ice cubes. The goal is to cool the vegetables as quickly as possible. Do not soak blanched vegetables in ice water for too long. Just a few minutes are enough until they cool down.

Tip: For an especially delicate flavor, you can finish the sauce with a drop of lemon juice. Homemade spaetzle or wide noodles, which perfectly soak up the creamy sauce, are an excellent side dish.
