- 10 radishes washed & trimmed
- 1 tablespoon sea salt
- 1 English cucumber
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- ½ cup red onion sliced thin
- ½ cup olive oil
- 2 tablespoons white wine vinegar
- 1 tablespoon dill
- 1 teaspoon fresh cracked pepper
Trim the greens and tips from the radishes. Wash throughly. Slice into about 1/4 inch thick pieces. Arrange the slices in an even layer on a flat tray or surface lined with paper towels. Sprinkle the salt over the radishes. Let the radishes "sweat" for about 10 minutes to draw out excess moisture.
Slice the English cucumber into quarter inch thick pieces. Combine the slices in a large bowl with the minced garlic, red onion slices, olive oil, white wine vinegar, dill and cracked peppercorns.
Blot the radishes dry and brush off any excess salt. Combine the radishes in the bowl with the cucumbers. Stir well to combine. Chill for at least one hour to develop flavors. Serve while reading the Quibbler and avoiding nargles. Enjoy!
