Radish, Cucumber, and Apple Salad

The theme of this salad is crunch: sharp radishes, crisp cucumbers, and sweet apples all get together for a big bowl of different flavors with a snappy, crisp texture. The homemade dressing starts with mayonnaise and vinegar – and some chives, lemon juice, and fresh black pepper finish it off with a bang.

Nutritionally speaking, both apples and radishes are high in Vitamin C, and apples also have quite a lot of fiber.

If you’re in favor of easy side dishes but not a big fan of lettuce, this is an easy way to get the salad without the leaves. It goes really well in lunchboxes (as long as they’re refrigerated; mayo does have raw egg in it after all). Or try making it ahead of time and refrigerating it for an instant dinner side that you can just pull out of the fridge and plunk down on the table.
