Wash the turnip under running water and dry it. Peel the skin with a sharp vegetable peeler, then cut off the hard end. Cut the turnip into pieces about 2–3 cm on each side — this will make further processing easier.
Description
A delicate, slightly sweet and sour sauce made from radish and honey — a spring snack with a fresh, slightly spicy character. The sauce combines the crunch and slightly sharp aroma of fresh radish with the smoothness of yogurt and the sweetness of honey; complemented by canola oil and dill, it creates a versatile dip for fresh vegetables, rye bread, or as an addition to young potatoes and salads. The recipe is vegetarian, quick (about 15 minutes), and allows for simple modifications — you can easily prepare a dairy-free version by replacing yogurt with plant-based yogurt and omitting honey (or using maple syrup) if you want a vegan option. Aesthetically presented, it showcases the contrast of white yogurt, creamy texture, and green dill leaves; perfect for spring gatherings and as a light appetizer.

Preparation steps
Preparation of ingredients
Grate the horseradish on a fine grater or chop it into small pieces in a food processor. If you are using a jug blender, cut the horseradish into smaller pieces (about 1–2 cm) to make it easier to blend.
Preparing the sauce
In a large bowl, combine natural yogurt, honey, mustard, and lemon juice. First, mix with a spoon, then add the rapeseed oil in a thin stream while vigorously stirring to achieve an emulsified, smooth base.
Add the grated horseradish to the bowl with the emulsified base. Use an immersion blender or a stand blender and blend on medium speed for 20–40 seconds, until the sauce is silky smooth or slightly grainy — depending on your preference. If you blend for a short time, the sauce will retain a pleasant texture and small pieces of horseradish.
Finishing
Add salt and freshly ground pepper to taste. Mix thoroughly, taste, and if necessary, add more honey (if you want it sweeter) or more lemon juice (if you want it more acidic). Let the sauce rest for 5–10 minutes to allow the flavors to harmonize.
Finely chop the dill and mix it into the sauce just before serving. If you are using walnuts, chop them coarsely and sprinkle them over the sauce for a contrast in texture. If you want some heat, add a pinch of chili flakes (optional).
Serving
Transfer the sauce to a small bowl. Serve as a dip for raw spring vegetables (radish, carrot, cucumber, asparagus), with slices of dark bread, or as an addition to salads and young potatoes. Garnish with a sprig of dill and a few chopped nuts on top.
Fun Fact
Radish was commonly cultivated in Central Europe before the spread of the potato; in the past, its leaves and roots were a staple of the folk diet.

Tips
Serve in a small bowl next to a plate with colorful vegetables: radishes, young carrots, and raw cucumber. For a more elegant presentation, spread a little sauce on the plate and place a few sprigs of dill and chopped nuts on top.
Store the sauce in a closed container in the refrigerator for up to 48 hours. Before serving, take it out for 15–20 minutes to reach room temperature and stir again. Do not freeze the yogurt sauce — it will lose its consistency.
