Num, Num – Let’s Make Salads!
I have an obsession with salads – I love the beautiful flavors, colors…ease of making them. But recently I realized, for a side dish blog, I really have very little radish side dishes here. And the whole irony is that there is a radish in the logo (so cute, right?).
The thing is that I love radishes but its not a common veggie to just consider when you go to the store. They can be spicy to some, peppery almost, and are so unique. Radishes also give such a nice crunch in a salad and are easy just to eat as a finger food with vegetable dip on a holiday platter.
Radish Cucumber Salad
To kick off a few new radish dishes, of which I seriously hope you enjoy, I dissected one of my favorite cucumber salads on this blog to create a new version- Radish Cucumber Salad with Homemade Dressing. The homemade marinade, the fresh dill and the chopped up red onions all make for a powerful and tasty side salad.
Spring salad, summer BBQ or fresh holiday side, this salad is a perfectly easy dish. Let’s get started on Radish Cucumber Salad!
✔ Fresh ✔ Visibly Stunning ✔ Full of Flavors
- 2 English cucumbers, quartered
- 12 radishes, sliced thin
- 1/4 chopped red onion
- 1 tablespoon fresh dill
- 4 tablespoons olive oil
- 4 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
- 2.5 tsp white sugar

NOTE ON VIDEO: For the cucumber radish video, you will noticed I sliced the cucumbers and quartered the radishes instead. I just wanted more chunky radishes that day but since radishes are so strong, you may want to continue with the way the recipe is written.
