Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 large English cucumber, thinly sliced into half-moons
  • 1 bunch radishes (8-10), trimmed and thinly sliced
  • 1/4 small red onion, thinly sliced
  • 1/4 cup fresh dill, roughly chopped
  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (optional)
  • 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • 1 small clove garlic, finely minced or grated
  • 1/2 teaspoon honey or maple syrup
  • 1/4 teaspoon fine sea salt, plus more to taste
  • Freshly cracked black pepper

Instructions

  1. Prepare the vegetables. Wash the cucumber and radishes. Slice the cucumber into thin half-moons. Slice the radishes as thinly as possible. Thinly slice the red onion. Place all sliced vegetables in a large mixing bowl.
  2. Make the dressing. In a small bowl or jar, combine the olive oil, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, minced garlic, honey, salt, and a generous grind of black pepper. Whisk or shake vigorously until smooth and emulsified. Taste and adjust seasoning.
  3. Combine and rest. Pour the dressing over the sliced vegetables. Add the chopped dill and parsley. Gently toss everything until evenly coated. Let the salad sit for 5 to 10 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld.

Notes

For best texture, dress the salad just before serving or within 30 minutes. You can prep the vegetables and dressing separately up to a day ahead. For a creamy twist, substitute 2 tablespoons of the olive oil with plain Greek yogurt or sour cream.
