  • Total Time: 10 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings

Ingredients

Vegetables

  • 4 mini or Persian cucumbers, or one large English cucumber
  • 1 bunch radishes

Herbs

  • 3 Tablespoons finely chopped fresh dill, or 2 teaspoons dried dill
  • ¼ cup chopped fresh chives, or ½ cup thinly sliced scallions

Dressing

  • ⅓ cup plain Greek yogurt
  • 2 Tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • 2 teaspoons red wine vinegar, or apple cider vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon honey
  • ½ teaspoon kosher salt
  • ¼ teaspoon garlic powder
  • Freshly ground black pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. Slice the vegetables: Thinly slice radishes and cucumbers using a sharp knife or a mandolin to ensure even, delicate slices for the best texture in the salad.
  2. Combine vegetables and herbs: Place the sliced cucumbers, radishes, chopped dill, and chives in a large bowl and mix gently to distribute the ingredients evenly.
  3. Prepare the dressing: In a separate bowl or large liquid measuring cup, whisk together Greek yogurt, extra virgin olive oil, red wine vinegar, honey, kosher salt, garlic powder, and freshly ground black pepper until smooth and well combined.
  4. Toss salad with dressing: Pour the dressing over the vegetable mixture and toss gently to coat all slices. The cucumbers will start to release some liquid once dressed, so serve the salad immediately for the best crisp texture.
  5. Make ahead option: To prepare in advance, store the sliced vegetables and dressing separately in covered containers in the refrigerator for up to a day. Toss with dressing just before serving to maintain freshness and crunch.

Notes

  • Use a mandolin for uniform thin slices for better texture and presentation.
  • For a dairy-free version, substitute Greek yogurt with a plant-based yogurt.
  • This salad is best served fresh as cucumbers release moisture when dressed, which can make the salad watery if left to sit too long.
  • Adjust vinegar and honey amounts to taste if you prefer a sweeter or tangier dressing.
  • Fresh dill enhances flavor significantly, but dried dill works well in a pinch.
