This is one of those quintessential Russian salads I grew up with. Of course, as with all highly traditional dishes, there is a lot of regional variation. Such as:

- Adding apples to salads is mostly a northern thing. St. Peterburgians add apples to every salad in existence, it's as ubiquitous for them as parsley is for Americans. In other areas of the country, people generally don't do this.

- In Moscow, where I am from, people add chopped hardboiled egg and minced scallions.

- In the south, adding cilantro is also common.

I used yogurt instead of sour cream. The recipe was good, but my radishes were too bitter to eat.

Just what I needed. I got two bunches of organic radishes in my coop shares and had all the rest in the fridge to make this original and very tasty salad; everyone loved it. The only change I made was shifting from sour cream, which I did not have on hand, to plain yogurt. The radishes were mild, had they been very strong or bitter that could changed the outcome. Taste them first, if that is the case, simply grate your radishes to disperse them among the cucumber and apples. Again, five stars for an original, very palatable, and not to forget fast salad.
