Ingredients
  

For the Salad

  • 2 English cucumbers, thinly sliced
  • 4 radishes, thinly sliced
  • 1/4 cup fresh mint leaves, roughly chopped
  • 1/4 cup fresh dill, chopped

For the Buttermilk Dressing

  • 1/2 cup buttermilk
  • 1/4 cup Greek yogurt (or mayo for a richer taste)
  • Juice of 1/2 a lemon
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 1 tsp honey
  • 1/2 tsp sea salt
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper

Instructions
 

  • Thinly slice the cucumbers and radishes using a sharp knife or mandoline.; Chop the fresh mint and dill—don’t skimp, herbs bring the magic!
  • In a small bowl, whisk together buttermilk, Greek yogurt, lemon juice, garlic, honey, salt, and pepper until smooth.; Taste and adjust seasoning—add a little more salt or honey if needed.
  • Combine cucumbers, radishes, and herbs in a large bowl.; Pour the dressing over the top and gently toss to coat.; Let it sit in the fridge for at least 15 minutes before serving (this helps the flavors meld).
  • Transfer to a serving dish and garnish with extra mint and a pinch of flaky sea salt.; Best served chilled, making it a perfect make-ahead side dish for summer cookouts!
