Ingredients

Veggies

  • 2 to 3 cucumbers sliced
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes red + yellow, halved
  • 1/2 sweet Vidalia onion thinly sliced
  • 1 orange bell pepper thinly sliced
  • 4 to 6 radishes paper-thin sliced

Creamy Dressing

  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • 1 to 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
  • 1 to 2 teaspoons lemon juice or apple cider vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon sugar
  • 1 small garlic clove finely grated
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt or to taste
  • Black + white pepper blend to taste

Finish

  • Fresh parsley chopped

Instructions

Build the bowl

  • Add cucumbers, cherry tomatoes, Vidalia onion, orange bell pepper, and radishes to a large bowl. Toss gently to combine.

Make the dressing

  • In a separate bowl, whisk together sour cream, mayo, lemon juice (or vinegar), sugar, garlic, salt, and pepper until smooth and creamy. Taste and adjust seasoning.

Combine

  • Pour dressing over vegetables and toss gently until everything is lightly coated.

Finish + rest

  • Sprinkle with fresh parsley. Let salad sit for 10–15 minutes before serving so flavors settle and the dressing lightly clings to the vegetables.

Notes

Best served cold.
For extra crunch, chill cucumbers before slicing.
This salad does not hold well overnight once dressed, so for best texture,
enjoy within a few hours of mixing.
