Start by cleaning and preparing the radishes. Rinse them under cold water to remove any dirt and debris. Trim the ends and slice them thinly. Place the slices in a large salad bowl.
Peel, halve lengthwise, and thinly slice the cucumber. Add these slices to the bowl with the radishes.
Finely slice the red onion quarter and add these to the salad bowl. Adjust the quantity to taste if you prefer a milder onion flavor.
Chop the parsley and mint finely, and add these fresh, fragrant herbs to the salad bowl.
In a small mixing bowl, prepare the vinaigrette. Whisk together the lemon juice, olive oil, salt, black pepper, and honey until the mixture is well combined and emulsified.
Pour the vinaigrette over the radish salad and toss everything gently until the vegetables are evenly coated with the dressing.
Taste and adjust the seasoning if necessary, adding more salt or lemon juice as desired.
Let the salad sit for at least 10 minutes before serving. This resting time allows the flavors to meld beautifully.
Serve the salad chilled or at room temperature, as a refreshing accompaniment to your meal.
