Baking time: 0 minutes
Total: 15 minutes
Servings: 2

Ingredients:
- 2 bunches of wild garlic
- 2 boiled eggs
- 2 small cucumbers
- 2 radishes
- 100 g feta cheese
- 3 tablespoons yogurt
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon mustard
- Juice of 1/2 lemon
- Salt and pepper to taste

Preparing the Wild Garlic Salad with Eggs:

Step 1: Preparing the ingredients
Start by washing the wild garlic well under cold running water. This will remove any impurities or hidden insects. After washing, let it drain in a colander or on a clean kitchen towel. Once drained, cut the wild garlic leaves into pieces about 3-4 cm long, making them easy to eat.

Step 2: Boiling the eggs
Boil the eggs in water with a little salt for 8-10 minutes, depending on your preference for yolk consistency. If you like softer eggs, stop boiling after 8 minutes. Once boiled, let them cool under cold running water, then peel and cut them into quarters.

Step 3: Preparing the vegetables
Peel the cucumbers (if preferred) and slice them into rounds. This detail will add a crunchy note to the salad. Similarly, peel the radishes, remove the tops, and slice them thinly. The radishes add a spicy flavor, perfect for balancing the taste of the wild garlic.

Step 4: Assembling the salad
In a large bowl, combine the wild garlic pieces, boiled egg quarters, cucumber and radish rounds, as well as the feta cheese cut into small pieces. Make sure to distribute the ingredients evenly so that each serving has a delicious combination of flavors.

Step 5: Preparing the dressing
In a separate bowl, mix the yogurt, olive oil, mustard, and lemon juice. Season the dressing with salt and pepper to taste. Mix well until you achieve a homogeneous composition. This dressing will add a delicious creaminess and a hint of acidity to the salad.

Step 6: Finalizing the salad
Pour the dressing over the assembled salad and gently mix to combine all ingredients. It is important not to mix too much to avoid crushing the eggs and cheese. The wild garlic salad with eggs is now ready to be served!

Serving suggestions:
This salad is perfect as an appetizer or a light main dish, especially on warm spring days. You can serve it alongside a slice of toasted bread or a crunchy baguette. Additionally, a glass of white wine or freshly made lemonade will perfectly complement the meal.

Nutritional benefits:
Wild garlic is rich in vitamins A, C, and K, while eggs provide quality protein. Cucumbers add hydration, and radishes contribute antioxidants. This salad is not only tasty but also healthy, with a relatively low caloric content of about 250-300 calories per serving, depending on the amount of cheese used.

Possible variations:
If you want to bring a different note to this salad, you can add avocado for creaminess or nuts for extra crunch. Additionally, you can replace feta cheese with mozzarella or another cheese, depending on your preferences. A vegan version can be achieved by omitting the eggs and cheese, replacing them with tofu or avocado.

Frequently asked questions:
1. Can I use frozen wild garlic?
Although fresh wild garlic is ideal for this recipe, you can use frozen wild garlic, but the flavor will be different. Make sure to let it thaw and drain well before use.

2. How can I store the salad for the next day?
If you want to keep the salad, it is recommended to separate the dressing from the salad and combine them just before serving to avoid soggy ingredients.

3. What other ingredients can I add?
You can experiment with different vegetables, such as carrots or bell peppers, to diversify the taste and textures of the salad.
