- 2 tablespoons fresh dill, chopped
Dressing
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1/2 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1/4 teaspoon salt

Instructions
- Prepare the Vegetables: Thinly slice cucumbers and radishes using a sharp knife or mandoline. Place them in a large mixing bowl to combine.
- Make the Dressing: In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, salt, and black pepper until the mixture is well emulsified.
- Toss the Salad: Pour the dressing over the sliced cucumbers and radishes. Gently toss the salad to ensure the dressing evenly coats all the pieces.

Notes
- Use a mandoline slicer for uniform and thin slices for best texture.
- Refrigerate the salad if not serving immediately to keep it crisp.
- Adjust salt and lemon juice to taste for personal preference.
- This salad pairs well with grilled meats or as a light summer side dish.
