Cucumber and Radish Salad: A Refreshing End of Summer Delight

This time of year people are trying to find ways to use the cucumbers that are growing rapidly in their gardens. This cool and refreshing salad is an easy recipe to try.

It's a family recipe that my mom grew up enjoying and was passed down to me and my family. Traditionally, we serve our cucumbers with only sour cream and salt, but there are many variations to this traditional salad.

Coincidentally one of my favorite food blogs, Simply Scratch, posted her family recipe for the same salad with a bit of a variation. I enjoyed her addition of new ingredients, which added a touch of flavor.

No matter how you prepare this classic dish, it's a simple and refreshing way to prepare your abundance of cucumbers.  Hope you enjoy it!
