Ingredients (Serves 6)
200g smoked salmon (cut into strips)
3 large potatoes (peeled, approx. 600g)
1 cucumber (peeled)
1/2 red onion (peeled)
150g Greek yogurt
2 tbsp lemon juice
2 tbsp olive oil, 20g fresh dill (chopped)
1 tsp salt
1/2 tsp crushed black pepper
Detailed Instructions
1.Shred potatoes with Geedel
Halve the potatoes, place in the Geedel vegetable chopper, and spin into shreds. Boil for 8 minutes until tender, drain thoroughly, and let cool. This manual food chopper produces evenly sized shreds that stay creamy and intact after cooking—ideal as the "filling base" of the salad.
2.Shred vegetables with Geedel
Cut the cucumber into sections, place in the chopper, and spin into thin strips. Halve the red onion, use the onion chopper function to spin into fine dice. The hand vegetable chopper creates crisp, tender strips and dice. Use the salad spinner attachment to dry the cucumber strips thoroughly, preventing the salad from getting soggy.
3.Make dressing + combine
In a small bowl, mix Greek yogurt, lemon juice, olive oil, salt, black pepper, and chopped dill to make the dressing. In a large bowl, combine potato shreds, cucumber strips, red onion dice, and smoked salmon strips. Pour in the dressing and toss well. Chill for 10 minutes to absorb flavors—light, fresh, and non-greasy!
Summary
The core of this refreshing Finnish staple is the Geedel vegetable chopper. It cuts creamy potato shreds and crisp vegetable strips that absorb flavors evenly. The salty smoked salmon blends perfectly with the tangy yogurt dressing—light yet satisfying, low in fat and filling. It's an excellent choice for Finnish summer family gatherings!
