Ingredients:

1 dash salt
0.40g
1 dash black pepper
1/10g
3/4 cup almonds
70g
1 radish
4.50g
1/4 cup vinegar
60g
1.50 cucumbers
300g
2 cups fresh parsley
120g
10 grams onion
10g
1/4 cup olive oil
55g

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Ingredients:
- Cucumbers: Peel the cucumbers if desired. Slice them into thin rounds or half-moons, depending on your preference.
- Radish: Thinly slice the radish.
- Onion: Finely chop the onion.
- Parsley: Roughly chop the fresh parsley.
- Almonds: Toast the almonds in a dry skillet over medium heat until they are golden brown and fragrant, stirring frequently. Allow them to cool, then roughly chop them.
2. Make the Dressing:
- In a small bowl, whisk together the vinegar and olive oil until well combined.
- Add a dash of salt and a dash of black pepper. Whisk again to incorporate.
3. Assemble the Salad:
- In a large salad bowl, combine the sliced cucumbers, sliced radish, chopped onion, and chopped parsley.
- Pour the dressing over the salad ingredients.
- Toss gently to ensure everything is evenly coated with the dressing.
4. Finish and Serve:
- Sprinkle the toasted and chopped almonds over the top of the salad.
- Taste and adjust seasoning if needed, adding more salt and pepper to taste.
5. Serve Immediately:
- Serve the salad fresh for the best flavor and texture.

Tips:

- Toasting the almonds before adding them to the salad enhances their flavor and adds an extra layer of crunch. Simply spread them on a baking sheet and toast at 350°F (175°C) for about 10 minutes, or until they are golden brown.

- Use a mandoline to thinly slice the radish for an even and delicate texture that integrates well with the salad.

- For a more intense flavor, let the salad sit for about 10-15 minutes after tossing with the dressing to allow the ingredients to marinate.

- If you prefer a less intense onion flavor, opt for red onions or soak the chopped onion in cold water for a few minutes before adding it to the salad to mellow the sharpness.

- Experiment with different types of vinegar, such as apple cider vinegar or balsamic vinegar, to find your preferred flavor profile.

This cucumber and radish salad with almonds, parsley, and onion is a delightful and healthy addition to any meal. The combination of fresh vegetables and the nutty crunch of almonds, all brought together by a simple yet flavorful vinegar and olive oil dressing, makes this salad both satisfying and refreshing. Whether you're serving it as a side or enjoying it on its own, it's sure to be a hit.
