Pea, Cucumber, and Radish Salad

Pea, Cucumber, and Radish Salad- this healthy recipe makes a great summer side!

Peas, cucumber slices, and radishes are coated in an easy, creamy Greek yogurt dressing. Flavored with dill, this side salad is both light and refreshing.

The crunch of the cucumbers and the zesty flavor of the radishes pair really well with the sweetness of the peas.

Ingredients Needed

• Plain Greek Yogurt– If you don’t like greek yogurt, you can substitute equal parts sour cream and mayonnaise.
• Olive oil
• Rice Wine Vinegar– gives a little more tang to the dressing. Lemon juice can be used instead.
• Frozen Peas– use frozen peas for convenience. If you have fresh peas, use them instead. To cook fresh peas, cook them in boiling water for about 3 minutes.
• Baby Cucumbers– an English cucumber can be substituted.
• Radishes– thinly sliced them.
• Red Onion– green onio can be substituted.
• Fresh Dill– Mint can be substituted for dill.

Make In Advance

This salad is best made 30 to 60 minutes in advance to give the flavors time to mingle. Also tastes best served chilled. Super refreshing on a hot summer day.

This recipe is like a lightened up healthy version of Classic Pea Salad which is typically coated in mayonnaise dressing with lots of bacon and cheese.
