Grate the cucumber and carrots into medium-sized sticks and mix. Slice the spring onions into thin rings, finely chop the garlic, and fold in. For the dressing, combine the kefir, mustard, oil, vinegar, herb mix, sugar, salt, and pepper in a bowl and mix well. About 5 minutes before serving, pour the dressing over the salad to let it infuse a little. Tip: If you prefer a slightly more acidic flavor, you can also add a little lemon juice. This side dish goes well with all pasta dishes, meat, and grilled dishes, but can also be enjoyed simply with white bread.
