Equipment

Ingredients
  

  • 4 cups (2 medium) English cucumber thinly sliced
  • 6 to 9 (1 bunch) radishes thinly sliced
  • 1/2 red onion thinly sliced
  • 1 tbsp + 1/2 tsp pink salt divided
  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • 1 tbsp white vinegar
  • 3 to 5 drops Better Stevia (to taste)
  • 1 tsp garlic paste
  • 1/2 tsp cracked black pepper
  • 3 tbsp fresh dill finely chopped
  • 3 tbsp fresh chives finely chopped

Instructions
 

  • Place the cucumber, radishes, and onion in a colander and sprinkle with 1 tablespoon of the salt. Toss to combine. Cover and let sit 30 minutes. Toss again to allow the accumulated liquid to drain. This will ensure your salad does not become watery.
  • Combine the remaining ingredients, except for the herbs, in a small bowl.
  • Shake the colander to drain and transfer to a salad bowl.
  • Pour the dressing over the veggies and toss to combine.
  • Stir in the dill and chives. Taste and season with additional salt and/or pepper if desired.
  • Refrigerate for 1 hour before serving.
