How To Make A Healthy Radish Cucumber Salad

In order to absoerb nutrients from radishes and cucumbers, fat is needed. Fat soluble vitamins (A, D, E, and K) will absorb better when fat is consumed with them. So instead of using a dairy based or mayo based salad dressing I’m going to mimic the creaminess by using avocado – which are full of healthy fats. This avocado based creamy dressing is absolutelly delicious and satisfying!

Ingredients You Need:

1. Fresh cucumbers
2. Fresh red radishes
3. Fresh scallions (green onions)
4. Avocado dill salad dressing

Step by step: how to make this radish cucumber salad

To make this radish cucumber salad you need to cut the veggies first and add them in a bowl. For thin fancy slices use a mandoline slicer. This makes the process much faster and cuts the vegetables uniformly.

Make the creamy dressing and mix in when you’re ready to serve the salad. You can make the dressing up to 12 hours in advance.

Keeping the salad dressing separate will prevent it from browning and releasing juices from veggies.
