  • About

This tangy salad is adapted from a recipe in the glossy food magazine Kulinar, which offers readers “quick, tasty, interesting” recipes. It works well as part of a zakuska spread or simply on its own for lunch with a chunk of crusty bread on the side.

Ingredients

  • 1 large leek
  • ½ pound Emmenthaler or Jarlsberg cheese
  • ½

Method

Trim the bottom and top of the leek, leaving 1 inch of green. Cut the leek in half lengthwise and rinse well, then cut the halves into long, thin strips. Place the strips in a bowl and pour boiling water over them. Let sit for 5 minutes, then drain. Refresh the leeks with cold water and drain well. Pla
