Salad Ingredients
- 1 large English cucumber, diced
- 8 radishes, thinly sliced
- 4 ounces feta cheese, crumbled
Dressing Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
- 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh dill
Instructions
- Prepare the salad base: Combine the diced cucumber, thinly sliced radishes, and crumbled feta cheese in a large bowl, ensuring the ingredients are evenly mixed.
- Make the dressing: In a small bowl, whisk together the extra virgin olive oil, lemon juice, sea salt, and ground black pepper briskly until well combined to form a smooth vinaigrette.
- Dress the salad: Pour the prepared vinaigrette over the cucumber and radish mixture, then sprinkle with chopped fresh dill. Stir gently to fully coat the salad with the dressing and distribute the dill evenly.
- Serve: Serve the salad immediately for a crisp texture, or let it rest for 10 minutes to allow the flavors to meld beautifully before serving.
Notes
- For extra crunch, you can chill the cucumbers and radishes before preparing the salad.
- Adjust the amount of lemon juice and salt to taste for a more tangy or savory profile.
- This salad is best served fresh but can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 1 day.
- To make it vegan, omit the feta cheese or substitute with a plant-based alternative.
