Ingredients
- 2 English cucumbers, long
- 1 bunch radishes, thinly sliced
- 1 1/2 tsp kosher salt, divided, plus additional to taste
- 3/4 cup Greek yogurt, plain nonfat
- 2 tsp white vinegar
- 1 clove garlic, minced (about 1 tsp)
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 3 tablespoons fresh dill, finely chopped
- 3 tablespoons chives, chopped
Instructions
Instructions
- Place the cucumbers and radishes in a medium bowl. Sprinkle with 1 teaspoon salt and stir to combine. Cover and let sit 30 minutes. This step is important to make sure your salad does not become watery.
- Pour the cucumbers and radishes into a colander and stir, draining out as much of the water as you can. Transfer to a dry bowl.
- In a separate bowl or large measuring cup, whisk together the Greek yogurt, vinegar, garlic, pepper, and remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt. Pour half of the dressing over the cucumbers and radishes and stir to combine. Continue adding additional dressing until you reach your desired creaminess. You want the vegetables to be well coated but not soggy.
- Stir in the dill and chives. Taste and season with additional salt and/or pepper as desired. Refrigerate for 1 hour before serving.
