- 3 tbsp unsweetened Greek yogurt
- ½ tbsp olive oil
- 1 tbsp lemon juice
- 1 tbsp red wine vinegar
- 1 tsp honey
- Pinch of salt and pepper
- 2 Persian cucumbers, thinly sliced
- 6 radishes, thinly sliced
- 1 tbsp freshly minced dill
- 1 tbsp sliced green onion
In professional kitchens, balance is everything—textures, flavors, and the way a dish complements the overall dining experience. This Creamy Cucumber + Radish Salad is the perfect example of contrast done right. Crisp cucumbers and peppery radishes bring freshness and bite, while a luscious, tangy dressing rounds it out with richness. It’s simple yet dynamic, making it an ideal side dish, garnish, or even a base for elevated plating.
The dressing itself is a blank canvas—classic crème fraîche or Greek yogurt add a silky, cultured depth, while a touch of citrus, vinegar, or even horseradish can take it in a sharper direction. A sprinkle of fresh herbs, toasted seeds, or cured fish roe can elevate it further, making it adaptable to different menus and cuisines.
This is more than just a simple salad—it’s an essential component that chefs can riff on, refine, and reinvent. Whether plated elegantly or served rustic-style, it delivers on both flavor and function.
