Wash the radika in plenty of water and remove the tough stems.
Boil the radika in salted boiling water until tender.
Drain the greens and squeeze lightly by hand so they do not loosen the yogurt.
Whisk yogurt, crushed garlic, and salt until smooth.
Mix the radika with the yogurt and drizzle olive oil on top.
Dress the leaves at the last moment and serve without waiting.
💡 Tip: Keep the radika slightly firm so it keeps its texture.
🍽️ Serving suggestion: Serve cold with olive oil drizzled over the top.
