In reply to Alexandra. That sounds like an amazing breakfast! I'll have to try the radish spin. I'm probably going to love it.

This is one of my Ukrainian faves too! My mom makes it with equal parts cucumbers and radishes - it's the perfect summer salad 🙂
We used to have it on the weekends during breakfast, along with smoked fish, of course.

In reply to kseniaprints. No, she's not....That's why I wonder where the recipe comes from?! I'll have to ask her.

In reply to Katie @ Whole Nourishment. Is your mother Ukrainian as well? I wonder ;) I'm glad I could bring back some pleasant memories!

I love this salad Ksenia! Dill and cucumber go so well together. My mom always used to make a very similar salad (hmm, wonder where she got the recipe?) and I loved it but I don't recreate it often enough these days. Thanks for the reminder. 🙂

In reply to kristie {birch and wild}. It absolutely is fresh, and has quickly become one of my favourite things to eat at G's parents. I hope you give it a try, Kristie!

This looks like a lovely, fresh salad. I have never had this kind of cucumber salad before, but I loved how you tied the story in. Great post!

Such a lovely, lovely post about cooking, family, and tradition, Ksenia. This is such a sweet tribute to Greg's father and his cucumber salad looks absolutely to-die-for. Thank you so much for sharing!
