The combination of egg salad and horseradish creates a flavorful pairing perfect for preparing snacks for a name-day party. Horseradish salad pairs excellently with cold meats and is often the first to disappear from the party tables.

In many households, the distinctive taste of horseradish salad has gained more popularity than traditional vegetable salad. The primary reason is horseradish's key ingredient, which adds a spicy kick. This salad perfectly complements cold meats and can be an excellent addition to stuffed eggs or tortilla rolls.

The best name day salad: Simple and full of flavor

Horseradish salad is a fantastic addition to various types of meat, especially on a name-day table. The characteristic taste and intense horseradish aroma blend well with the other salad ingredients. However, it is essential not to overdo it with the amount of horseradish. A small quantity is enough to enhance the overall flavor.

Horseradish has been a staple for many years, often added to cold meats. You can tone it down with sour cream, eggs, or mayonnaise if it tastes too intense. Horseradish also positively impacts the digestive system, stimulating the secretion of digestive juices and facilitating food absorption. Additionally, it improves gallbladder function and stimulates intestinal peristalsis, reducing the risk of constipation, bloating, and heartburn.
