Ingredients
Smoked Salmon and Cucumber Salad
Pierce the eggs and cook in a pan of boiling water until soft-boiled, about 7 minutes. Rinse under cold water, then peel and let cool completely.
While the eggs cook, rinse cucumber and radish, wipe dry and slice both with a mandoline into thin slices.
Rinse dill, shake dry, pluck leaves and chop finely.
Stir together the vinegar, oil, yogurt, mustard, and dill in a bowl, then season sauce with salt and pepper.
Cut eggs into slices and divide among plates along with radishes and cucumbers. Place 2 pieces of salmon on each plate, drizzle with the sauce and serve immediately.

Listeria is rarely found in smoked salmon, but physicians recommend that as a precautionary measure, smoked salmon should be avoided completely during pregnancy. Although there is no risk for the expectant mother, there is risk for the unborn child. Listeriosis can cause serious damage.
