Zesty Cucumber Salad
26 July 2010, by gj
some of what you'll need
and a nice radish if you have them
This is a bit of a variation on a recipe we used to prepare at the restaurant. If you are lucky enough to have some home grown (or farm grown) radishes, use them! They have a distinct spicy taste, similar to horseradish.
If you don’t have them, you may want to increase the amount of horseradish you use.
Here is the recipe, followed by some How-To pictures:
4 small or 2 medium cucumbers, sliced very thin (about 2 1/2 cups)
1 large fresh radish, grated (about 1/2 cup)
1 onion, sliced very thin (about 1 cup)
1 Tbs. dill weed
1/2 tsp. salt
1 Tbs. prepared horseradish (we use extra hot)
1 cup sour cream
Slice cukes and onions very thin. Grate radish. Add remaining ingredients and stir to coat.
Makes about 5 cups. Enjoy!
slice those cukes thin
are your eyes tearing?
grated radish
red onion, cucumber, radish
a sprig of dill or a dill flower makes a nice garnish
