Ingredients
4 mini or Persian cucumbers (use English cucumbers if preferred; slice thinly)
8 radishes (look for firm, bright red radishes with fresh green tops)
2 green onions (thinly slice the white and light green parts only)
1 tablespoon fresh dill (roughly chopped; fresh parsley makes a good substitute)
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 ½ tablespoons lemon juice (fresh juice from half a lemon)
¼ teaspoon kosher salt (adjust to taste)
Freshly ground black pepper (to taste)
Instructions
Wash the cucumbers and radishes under cold water. Pat them dry with a clean kitchen towel.
Thinly slice radishes and cucumbers. Use a mandoline or sharp knife for uniform slices. Transfer to a bowl.
Add sliced green onions and chopped dill to the bowl.
In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, salt, and pepper. Pour the dressing over the salad.
Toss gently to coat. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed. Chill before serving.
Notes
Use a mandoline for even slicing. Fresh dill or parsley enhances the flavor. For optimal crispness, serve immediately or store in an airtight container for up to 2 hours.
Green onions: Use only the white and light green parts. Radishes can be slightly tart; taste and adjust lemon juice accordingly.
