Ingredients

• 2 Cups thinly sliced English cucumbers
• 1 Cup thinly sliced radishes
• 1/2 Cup thinly sliced sweet onion or yellow onion
• 1/2 Teaspoon Celtic sea salt
• 1/3 Cup sour cream
• 1 Teaspoon Raw Local Honey
• 1 Teaspoon white wine vinegar
• 1/4 Teaspoon pepper

How To Make It

Start by washing your cucumber and radish thoroughly under cold water. Next, trim off the ends and discard any bruised or damaged spots.

For the cucumber, you can leave the skin on or peel it off if you prefer a smoother texture.

Place the cucumbers and onions in a bowl and sprinkle the salt over the top. Let the vegetables sit with the salt to draw out the moisture for at least 10 minutes.

Drain as much of the liquid as possible from the cucumbers and onions.

Add the radishes to the bowl and combine.

Make the dressing

In another bowl, combine the sour cream, honey, vinegar, and pepper. Whisk to combine.

Pour the dressing over the salad and toss to combine. Serve chilled.

This refreshing and crunchy salad is perfect for a summer meal or as a side dish to any main course.

For some additional flair, try serving it in a chilled dish or garnishing with a slice of lemon or a sprinkle of black pepper.,

Serving Suggestions

• My family loves to serve this salad with a protein like grilled chicken or shrimp. The crispness of the vegetables pairs well with the smoky flavor of grilled meat.

• For those who want to switch up the vegetables, replace radishes with jicama or carrots, or try using just English cucumbers for a milder flavor.

• Similarly, herbs like mint or dill can be substituted for parsley to give the salad a new flavor profile.

• Don’t hesitate to get creative with variations and substitutions to suit your taste preferences.
