Leek-Apple-Walnut Salad

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.

Adapted from Latviešu ēdieni
Serves 2

1 leek, sliced thinly
1 small Granny Smith or other tart apple, cored, sliced into chunks
1 tsp horseradish
4 radishes, chopped
1/4 c walnuts, toasted and chopped
1 hard-boiled egg, diced (optional)
dash of sugar
pinch of salt

Combine all ingredients in a bowl. Add enough sour cream to just bring the salad together.

Notes:

You can also use mayonnaise or a combination of the two.
