Cucumber Salad with Lemon Dressing
The slightly sweet mustard-lemon dressing combines with crunchy vegetables and radish bite — a tasty complement to savory grilled meats, fish, tofu, and more!
Ingredients
For the dressing:
- ½ teaspoon Dijon mustard
- ½ teaspoon fresh garlic, minced
- 3 Tablespoons lemon juice
- 1 Tablespoon honey or agave
- ¼ cup extra virgin olive oil
- Kosher salt and freshly cracked black pepper
For the salad:
- 1 large English cucumber, spiralized or thinly sliced
- ½ small red onion, thinly sliced
- 1 large carrot, julienned
- 1 red bell pepper, julienned
- 1 jalapeño pepper, minced
- 1 purple daikon radish, thinly sliced
Instructions
Add all the dressing ingredients to a medium size lidded jar. Cover tightly and shake until the dressing is emulsified. Taste and adjust the seasoning.
Place the prepared vegetables in a salad bowl. Drizzle with about two tablespoons of the dressing. Sprinkle with a little extra salt and pepper, and gently toss. Add more dressing if needed. Serve immediately, reserving any extra dressing for another salad.
