I tend to get on a salad kick with the arrival of warmer weather. This Cucumber Radish Salad in a homemade vinaigrette is so easy to make, healthy and delicious!

I love any kind of salads with cucumbers. I’m not a huge fan of radishes when eaten plain, but they’re so good in this salad with dill and a sweet and tart vinaigrette.
I’ve always thought radishes were such a beautiful vegetable! I’m just weird like that, always have been since I was a small child. My mama tells me I’d come home from school every day and explain to her in great detail about my lunch at school. Some of my classmates hated cafeteria food but I always loved it.
This salad is so easy to make and tastes better when the vinaigrette has a little time to marinate the vegetables. I normally can’t help myself and have to have some as soon as I make it.

Followed the recipe exactly and mine looked just as good as yours does in the photos. However, I used your recommendation and let the salad marinate for several hours and it turned a yucky pale, pinkish color and did not look very appealing! Also, way too much vinegar for our tastes, so I recommend more sugar. Probably won’t make this again using your dressing recipe, but I will use another recipe I have for a sweet and sour dressing which is a winner every time. I’m sure it would be great with the sliced radishes and cucs.
