Every week, I post one recipe from Latviešu ēdieni.
Latvian salads incorporating sour cream or mayonnaise as a dressing for a combination of vegetables are quite popular. They’re easy to throw together, go with most anything and surprisingly tasty. This one is based on a very simple leek-apple salad in Latviešu ēdieni that we had with vareniky.
