Our go-to recipe? A cooling, crunchy, creamy salad of thinly sliced cucumbers and radishes, with an herby yogurt dressing for a little tang.
Whether you’re serving up this easy-to-make salad as a side dish or starter, a glass of The Roost Chardonnay is the perfect accompaniment. Complementing the salad’s creamy yogurt dressing and raw vegetables, Bonterra’s Biodynamic®, single-vineyard Chardonnay offers elegant acidity to match.
