# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • The peppery bite of radishes meets cooling cucumber in seconds
  • No cooking required just slicing, whisking, and eating
  • Keeps for days in the fridge and actually tastes better after marinating
02 -
  • This salad gets watery if you make it too far ahead. The salt draws moisture out of the vegetables, so dress it within an hour of serving.
  • Radishes vary wildly in spiciness. Taste one raw before you start slicing so you know how peppery your final dish will be.
03 -
  • Use a vegetable peeler to create ribbons instead of rounds for an elegant presentation
  • Toast some sunflower seeds or pumpkin seeds and sprinkle on top for added crunch
