Ingredients
- Garlic dressing
Instructions
- Cut the broccoli into florets and cook them in salted boiling water for 3–4 minutes, until just tender but still crisp. Drain immediately and rinse under cold water to preserve the bright green color. Slice the cherry tomatoes in half (or quarters if large). Thinly slice the radishes. Drain the sweet corn. If using eggs, boil them until hard, peel, and cut into large pieces.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the yogurt, mayonnaise, garlic, lemon juice, salt, pepper, and chopped dill or chives. Arrange the broccoli, tomatoes, radishes, corn, and eggs on a serving platter or combine everything in a large bowl. Drizzle with the garlic dressing just before serving, or serve the dressing on the side.
- For the best flavor, refrigerate the salad for 20–30 minutes before serving. It becomes even more refreshing, creamy, and delicious as the flavors blend together.
