Begin by thoroughly washing the radishes and cucumber under cold running water. Pat them dry with a clean kitchen towel.
Slice the radishes into thin rounds using a sharp knife or a mandoline slicer for evenly thin slices. Transfer them to a large mixing bowl.
Peel the cucumber (optional for a less bitter taste) and slice it into thin rounds similar to the radishes. Add the cucumber slices to the mixing bowl with the radishes.
Chop the green onions finely and add them to the bowl with the radishes and cucumber.
Finely chop the fresh parsley and dill and add them to the bowl. These herbs will add a fresh flavor to the salad.
In a small mixing bowl, whisk together the extra virgin olive oil, lemon juice, apple cider vinegar, Dijon mustard, sea salt, and black pepper until well combined.
Pour the vinaigrette over the radish and cucumber mixture. Toss everything together gently until the vegetables are evenly coated with the vinaigrette.
Taste and adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper if needed.
Refrigerate the salad for at least 10 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld together. Serve cold.
