Yuzu–Marinated Cucumber And Radish Salad
Prep Time: 20 minutes
Total Time: 1 hour 20 minutes
“This dish is fresh and bright from the yuzu and has just enough spice, making it the ultimate summer salad,” says Matty Matheson of this family recipe. Matty notes it only takes a few minutes to prepare. “It goes with anything coming off the grill, including fish, lamb and pork. Rare for salads, this one’s even better the next day,”
