About Khaladnik
Khaladnik is a cold beet soup associated with Belarusian summer cooking. This kefir-based rendition combines beet broth, cucumber, dill and spring onion with hard-boiled eggs.
Kefir and apple vinegar bring a tangy flavour, while beet contributes earthy sweetness. Fresh cucumber and herbs add a lighter note, with salt and black pepper completing the seasoning.
The soup has a vivid pink colour, flecked with green herbs and finished with egg halves. Potato and boiled sausage are optional additions to the cool, substantial bowl.
