# Helpful Tips:

01 -
  • The peppery bite of radishes against cool crisp cucumber creates this incredibly satisfying crunch that wakes up your palate
  • It comes together in literally fifteen minutes but looks like something from a fancy restaurant dinner
02 -
  • Do not skip the chilling time, those ten minutes transform the salad from good to absolutely perfect
  • The vegetables release water as they sit, so dress this right before serving if you want maximum crunch
03 -
  • Use a very sharp knife or mandoline to get paper thin slices, which makes all the difference in texture
  • Season generously with salt before adding the dressing, it helps draw out just enough moisture to create its own light sauce
