Salad Ingredients
- 2 cups cucumber, thinly sliced
- 1 cup radishes, thinly sliced
- 2 tablespoons fresh dill, chopped
Dressing Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1/2 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
- Slice the Vegetables: Thinly slice cucumbers and radishes using a sharp knife or mandoline. Place them in a mixing bowl to prepare for dressing.
- Prepare the Dressing: In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, salt, and black pepper until well combined for a balanced, tangy dressing.
- Toss the Salad: Pour the dressing over the sliced cucumbers and radishes. Gently toss to coat every slice evenly, ensuring the flavors are well distributed.
- Add Fresh Dill: Sprinkle the chopped fresh dill over the salad and mix thoroughly to infuse the fresh herbal aroma throughout.
- Serve or Chill: Serve the salad immediately for a crisp, fresh taste, or refrigerate for 10-15 minutes to allow the flavors to meld more deeply.
Notes
- Use a mandoline slicer for uniform thin slices, enhancing the salad’s texture and presentation.
- Refrigerating the salad before serving enhances the flavors as the dressing soaks into the cucumbers and radishes.
- Variations include adding a sprinkle of feta cheese or a handful of chopped fresh herbs like parsley or mint for extra flavor.
- For a spicier kick, add a pinch of crushed red pepper flakes to the dressing.
