Ingredients

Scale

Vegetables

1 large English cucumber, thinly sliced
1 bunch radishes, thinly sliced

Dressing

2 tablespoons white wine vinegar
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 teaspoon honey
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

Herbs

2 tablespoons fresh dill, finely chopped

Instructions

Prepare Vegetables: Thinly slice the English cucumber and radishes using a sharp knife or mandoline, ensuring even and thin slices for the best texture and flavor distribution.
Combine Vegetables: Place the sliced cucumbers and radishes into a large mixing bowl, mixing gently to distribute them evenly.
Make Dressing: In a separate small bowl, whisk together the white wine vinegar, olive oil, honey, salt, and freshly ground black pepper until the dressing is smooth and fully combined.
Toss Salad: Pour the prepared dressing over the sliced vegetables, then gently toss to coat every slice thoroughly in the dressing without bruising the veggies.
Add Dill: Sprinkle the finely chopped fresh dill evenly over the salad and toss gently again to distribute the herb throughout the mixture.
Chill: Cover the salad and refrigerate it for 10 to 15 minutes to let the flavors meld and allow the vegetables to absorb the dressing.
Serve: Serve the salad chilled as a refreshing side dish or light snack to complement any meal.

Notes

For extra crunch, slice the radishes and cucumbers as thinly as possible using a mandoline.
Adjust the honey amount to taste if you prefer a sweeter or more tart dressing.
This salad is best served fresh but can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 1 day.
Use fresh dill for the best flavor; dried dill will not provide the same bright taste.
To make it vegan, ensure the honey is replaced with a plant-based sweetener like maple syrup.
