Cucumber Salad Recipe


Cucumber Salad With Radish and Dill
This was pretty yummy — crisp and fresh and flavorful. I didn't realize cucumbers still grew this time of year, but that's the beauty of living in the breadbasket of the state!

  • 1 English cucumber or 3 Kirby cucumbers, halved lenghwise, seeded, thinly sliced
  • 4 large radishes (about 6 ounces), thinly sliced
  • Zest and juice of 1 lemon
  • 6 ounces feta cheese, coarsely crumbled (about 1 1/2 cups)
  • 2 tablespoons white-wine vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh dill, plus more sprigs, torn, for garnish
  • 1/2 teaspoon sugar
  • 1 garlic clove, crushed with the flat side of a large knife
  • Coarse salt and freshly ground pepper
  • 1/4 cup plus 1 tablespoon olive oil
  1. Put cucumber, radish, and lemon zest in a medium bowl, and add cheese.
  2. Whisk together lemon juice, vinegar, dill, sugar, and garlic in another medium bowl, whisking until sugar has dissolved; season with salt and pepper. Whisk in the oil in a slow, steady stream until emulsified.
  3. Add vinaigrette to cucumber mixture; toss well. Garnish with dill. Discard garlic clove before serving. Refrigerate salad in an airtight container up to 1 hour.

Thanks! =) Abundant Harvest has made me think of cooking in a new way.

It's much yummier and healthier!

I think we need to revive the recipe category.  This sounds delicious!  And I love how you even take a photo of it.  :))
