Cucumber and Radish Salad with Feta Vinaigrette
July 14, 2010
The original recipe for this Cucumber and Radish Salad with Feta, Red Wine Vinegar, and Buttermilk Dressing comes from Kalyn’s Kitchen. She always has great ideas for vegetables!
I used two large garden cucumbers, and peeled and cut them early in the day. I allowed them to sit on a bed of paper towels in the fridge for a couple of hours before I put the salad together, I did not find them to be too wet at all, and that was without salting them. I also used skim milk instead of buttermilk, and apple cider vinegar instead of red wine.
My parents and I liked this salad, and it is crisp and cool — perfect for summer. I think adding pepper (I forgot to) and perhaps some chives or minced scallions would really be fantastic. Since my Dad just gave me a big cuke from his garden, and I received 3 more in today’s CSA share, I anticipate many more cucumber-based salads in the near future.
