- 3 persian or kirby cucumbers or 1 medium English, halved lengthwise and thinly sliced
- 3 scallions, thinly sliced, green & white parts (reserve a spoonful for garnish)

Chef's Note: Adding the dressing too far in advance will cause the juices in the cucumber and radish to run and make the salad too watery.
