✓ USDA-verified nutrition data

Ingredients

• 3 Beets
• 1 Cucumber
• 6 Radishes
• 4 cups Kefir
• 2 Eggs
• 1/4 cup Dill
• 3 Scallions
• 1/4 cup Sour cream

Steps

1. Roast the beets until tender, then grate fine — roasting keeps the color vivid.
2. Whisk the kefir with the beets until the soup turns a shocking, beautiful pink.
3. Fold in diced cucumber, radishes, and scallions for crunch against the silk.
4. Season with salt and a squeeze of lemon; chłodnik should be tangy and ice-cold.
5. Chill at least 2 hours; serve in chilled bowls.
6. Top each with a halved egg, dill, and a swirl of sour cream.
