Crunch Crunch Salad

This is my go-to salad on a lazy day because it can be whipped up in minutes.  I love it when recipes contain only two steps!  I made this particular salad during a Mother's Day barbeque a few months ago.  It is a great way to add vegetables to the meal when you are busy preparing other items that need a bit more attention.  It is so easy, you can even let go a little and delegate it to someone else!

Cucumber, Radish, and Tomato Salad

Ingredients
- 6 Japanese cucumbers (I like to substitute with Persian cucumbers since it is cheaper, but has the same freshness and crunch!)
- 2 large tomatoes
- 4-6 red radishes
- 1 Tbsp Japanese sesame dressing (such as this), to taste
- 2 tsp Japanese mayo (such as this), to taste
- ground pepper (to taste)

Steps
1. Roughly cut cucumbers, tomatoes, and radishes to your liking (cubed or thick slice, as long as it is bite-size)

2. Toss cucumbers, tomatoes, and radishes in a bowl with Japanese sesame dressing, mayo, and ground pepper.  Serve cold.

Serves 6-8.
