Everything comes together in fifteen minutes flat, leaving you more time to enjoy the sunshine
The combination of cool cucumber and spicy radish hits every craving for something fresh and alive
You can toss in whatever herbs or greens are growing in your garden or on your windowsill

02 -

Dress your salad at the very last possible moment, otherwise those tender greens will collapse into a soggy disappointment
Radishes lose their signature kick once sliced, so cut them right before you're ready to eat for maximum peppery bite
The dressing will seem too thin when you first whisk it, but give it thirty seconds and it'll thicken beautifully

03 -

Use a mandoline if you have one for those impossibly thin, professional-looking cucumber and radish slices
Toasted seeds transform from good to extraordinary, so don't skip that step even if it adds five minutes
