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… healthy deliciousness!

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.
