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… healthy deliciousness!

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.

I read Katherine’s review before making this. I’ve had experience with too much vinegar in cuc salads before, but I also know that it is effective to marinate vegetables for a period. My solution: dilute the vinegar. I put a 2:1 mixture of vinegar to water with 1/2 the sugar and a bit more salt than this recipe calls for (and no oil) into the marinate mix. I left the cucs and radishes in the marinate for ~20 minutes as I prepared other things. To finish the salad, I drained the veggies, reserved about 2/3 cup of the marinate, then mixed a up a dressing w/oil. I found that the dressing needed some acidity so I added the juice of one lime. It was a hit.
