This salad is easy, quick to pull together, and versatile. It pairs well with fresh bread or works as a light side dish at any meal. The main ingredients — cucumbers and radishes — are nutritious and full of vitamins, while hard‑boiled eggs add extra protein and a creamy element when mixed with mayonnaise. Use common pantry ingredients and minimal prep for a salad that’s ready in minutes and enjoyed by everyone.

For very even, thin slices you can use a mandoline such as the Benriner with a coarse blade to cut cucumbers, radishes and eggs into matchstick shapes. If you prefer, slice by hand or grate boiled eggs on the large holes of a box grater. Add the mayonnaise just before serving so it clings to the vegetables instead of pooling; freshly dressed salads taste best.

How to Make Cucumber Radish Salad:

1. Rinse cucumbers, radishes and green onions. Pat dry with paper towels. Trim radish stems and tails.

2. Slice cucumbers: cut 3–4 small cucumbers in half (or quarter one English cucumber) and slice thinly. Slice radishes thinly as well. If you like, use a mandoline for uniformly thin slices. Grate or finely chop the hard‑boiled eggs and finely slice the green onions. Place everything in a large bowl.

3. Gently mix the vegetables and eggs with a spoon.

4. Add real mayonnaise and a pinch of salt if desired. Toss lightly to coat, adding the mayo just before serving so the salad remains crisp. Garnish with additional sliced green onions, dill or parsley for a fresh finish.
