Cucumber Radish Salad with Creamy Yogurt Dill Dressing
Description
The Cucumber Radish Salad with Creamy Yogurt Dill Dressing features English cucumbers halved, seeded, and sliced thin alongside thin radish slices, all coated in a creamy dressing made from plain Greek yogurt infused with lemon juice, fresh dill, garlic powder, and optional honey. The salad is tossed just prior to serving to keep the cucumbers crisp and prevent the dressing from becoming watery.
The flavors combine the mild and cooling qualities of cucumber with the slight peppery bite of radish, balanced by the smooth, tangy yogurt and fresh herbs. The garlic powder adds subtle depth while the lemon juice brightens the mix. The dressing’s creamy texture gently coats the crunchy vegetables without overwhelming them.
This salad serves well as a refreshing side dish or light accompaniment, offering a cool contrast to richer main courses. It holds best if consumed within a couple of hours of preparation since the vegetables release water over time, potentially diluting the dressing.
Ingredients
- 2 cucumber English
- 6 radish sliced thin
- 3/4 cup yogurt plain, Greek
- 1/2 lemon juiced
- 1 tablespoon dill fresh, chopped
- 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon honey optional
- salt kosher salt; freshly ground; to taste
- black pepper kosher salt; freshly ground; to taste
Instructions
- In a small bowl, whisk together the Greek yogurt, lemon juice, dill, garlic, honey, salt and pepper. Set aside.
- Slice cucumbers in half lengthwise and use a spoon to scrape out the seeds. Thinly slice the cucumbers into half rounds.
- Place the sliced cucumbers and radishes into a large serving bowl. Just before serving stir the yogurt dill dressing into the salad and mix to coat the cucumbers and radishes. Taste for seasoning.
- Serve immediately or refrigerate for up to 2 hours. Any longer and the cucumbers start to release too much water and the dressing will become runny.
