After years of lusting after the dressing served on the small salads at various Hibachi grills and sushi restaurants, I think I’ve finally got it! The combination of cucumber and radish in this salad is crunchy, ridiculously refreshing, and packs well in a picnic.
cucumber and radish salad with ginger miso dressing
for the dressing:
1 tsp finely grated fresh ginger
1 small garlic clove, minced
2 Tbsp sweet white Miso paste
2 Tbsp rice wine vinegar
1 Tbsp soy sauce
1 Tsp toasted sesame oil
2 Tbsp water
2-3 cucumbers, sliced thin (peeled or not according to preference)

In a small bowl, whisk together the ingredients for the dressing. Serve alongside salad. Refrigerate unused dressing.
I am definitely making this tonight! MOAR radish ideas please! 😉
I know, right?! I’ve got loads of radishes to use from Breezy Willow! I’ll see what I can do.
Tis’ the summer season! I made a cucumber & radish salad today! I wish I found your blog sooner. Your salad looks so refreshing! Have you tried cooking radishes before? I took some leftover ones and created an impromptu kale, shitake, & radish fried rice. It was delicious! Such a great alternative to the water chestnut.
I have not tried cooking them, but I’ve seen some suggestions to roast them and I plan to try that. Your fried rice sounds delicious!
