Expert Tips
- Use a mandoline slicer to slice the cucumber and radish. It makes the job way quicker and easier, and you'll get slices that are uniform in thickness. If you don't have one, use a sharp knife.
- If you are not a fan of dill or if you want to switch up the spices, you can also use fresh mint for an ultra-refreshing flavor.
- If you don’t prefer mayonnaise and aren’t dairy-free, feel free to substitute plain Greek yogurt.
- This recipe doesn’t contain any cheese, but if you aren’t dairy free and want to add some, crumbled feta cheese would work really well.
- Make sure to chill the creamy cucumber and radish salad for at least 1 hour after making it. The longer it sits, the better it'll taste as the flavors meld together!
Serving Tips
- This is an easy, make-ahead dish for a summer potluck or picnic! It can be made up to 24 hours in advance.
- Serve chilled alongside your favorite protein and additional side dishes.
Storage Tips
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Give it a good stir before serving.
