Cucumber and Radish Salad

A simple, refreshing salad for those muggy, hot summer days. Perfect with a light sandwich or some cheese and crusty bread.

A cucumber, sliced into very thin rounds. I used a cheapo grater with a slicing/pseduo-mandolin blade.

A handful of radish, sliced thinly, as well.

A couple cloves of garlic, chopped finely.

A diced tomato. I used half a Roma tomato, but you can use one whole tomato.

A splash of vinegar (any kind of vinegar will do--I used plain old white vinegar).

A nice long stream of good extra virgin olive oil.

One chopped up scallion. Some diced onion (red or whatever) would have been good too, but I was rushing to get dinner made.

I suppose some chopped parseley would have been good, but I didin't have any on hand. (Blame the small refrigerator.)

Combine and add some salt and pepper to taste. Chill.
