Packed with bold flavors and simple preparation, this Mexican-inspired radish salad is a must-try for warm-weather meals or when you're craving something fresh and healthy.
Thoroughly rinse the radishes, cucumber, and tomato under cold water, and pat them dry.
Thinly slice the radishes into small rounds or half-moons, depending on your preference.
Peel the cucumber, if desired, and dice it into small, bite-sized pieces.
Chop the roma tomato into small cubes, discarding excess seeds if necessary.
Dice the red onion finely and set aside. If you prefer a milder flavor, rinse the diced onion under cold water after chopping.
Finely chop the fresh cilantro leaves, discarding thick stems.
If you're using the jalapeño, carefully slice it in half, remove the seeds for less heat, and finely dice the pepper.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the sliced radishes, cucumber, tomato, red onion, cilantro, and jalapeño (if using).
Drizzle the lime juice and olive oil over the salad mixture, and sprinkle with salt and black pepper.
Toss the salad gently to evenly coat the vegetables with the dressing.
Taste and adjust seasoning as needed, adding an extra squeeze of lime juice or pinch of salt if desired.
Serve immediately as a side dish or refrigerate for up to 2 hours for a more chilled salad. Enjoy!
