Ingredients
Vegetables
- 2 cups radishes, thinly sliced
- 1 large cucumber, thinly sliced
- 1/4 small red onion, thinly sliced
Dressing
- 1/3 cup sour cream
- 2 tablespoons Greek yogurt
- 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon fresh dill, chopped
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
- Prepare the vegetables: Thinly slice the radishes, cucumber, and red onion and place them into a large mixing bowl.
- Make the dressing: In a separate bowl, whisk together the sour cream, Greek yogurt, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, fresh dill, fresh parsley, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper until smooth and well combined.
- Combine dressing and vegetables: Pour the creamy herb dressing over the sliced vegetables in the large bowl.
- Toss the salad: Gently toss all ingredients together until the vegetables are evenly coated with the dressing.
- Chill before serving: Cover the salad and refrigerate it for 20 to 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld and the salad to chill.
- Final touch: Stir the salad gently before serving and garnish with additional fresh dill for an extra burst of flavor.
Notes
- To reduce excess moisture, lightly salt the sliced cucumber and let it sit for 10 minutes, then pat dry before mixing with the other ingredients.
- Greek yogurt can be used to replace some or all of the sour cream for a tangier and lighter dressing.
- Adding chopped green onions enhances the flavor with a mild oniony punch.
- This salad is best served the same day for optimal crispness and freshness.
