Ingredients:

1/4 cup vinegar
60g
1.50 tbsp sugar
18g
2 radishes
9g
1 cucumber
280g
1 tbsp vegetable oil
16g

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Vinegar Mixture:
- In a small mixing bowl, combine 1/4 cup of vinegar and 1.5 tablespoons of sugar. Stir well until the sugar is completely dissolved.
2. Slice the Vegetables:
- Wash the cucumber and radishes thoroughly.
- Using a sharp knife or a mandoline slicer, thinly slice the cucumber into rounds.
- Similarly, thinly slice the radishes.
3. Combine the Ingredients:
- In a large mixing bowl, place the sliced cucumber and radishes.
- Pour the vinegar and sugar mixture over the sliced vegetables.
4. Add the Oil:
- Drizzle 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil over the salad.
5. Toss the Salad:
- Gently toss all the ingredients together until the cucumber and radish slices are evenly coated with the vinegar, sugar, and oil mixture.
6. Marinate:
- For best results, let the salad marinate for at least 15-30 minutes in the refrigerator. This will allow the flavors to meld together beautifully.
7. Serve:
- Give the salad another gentle toss before serving.
- Transfer to a serving dish and enjoy!

Tips:

- Make sure to slice the radishes and cucumber very thinly for the best texture and flavor infusion.

- For a more intense flavor, let the salad marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before serving.

- Feel free to add a pinch of salt or pepper to taste.

- For an extra crunch, you can add some chopped nuts or seeds just before serving.

- Use a mandolin slicer for uniform and thin slices of cucumber and radishes.

Enjoy this quick and easy Sweet Cucumber and Radish Salad as a fresh, tangy side dish that's perfect for any occasion. The balance of sweetness from the sugar and acidity from the vinegar, paired with the crunch of radishes and cucumber, makes for a truly invigorating salad.
