BACONSLUT'S CREAMY CUCUMBER AND RADISH FARMER'S MARKET SALAD

I've been grooving on this regularly lately.  Tiz the season!  Sooooo cool and refreshing.  You horz know that measuring makes me stabby, so this comes to you free-balled, as usual.  ;) 


The cukes:  The STAH
     If you get 'em from the farmer's market, screw peeling 'em as they aren't waxed.  Also, screw seeding them.  Slice them thinly, layer them, sprinkled with kosher or sea salt between layers, inside of a colander set over an accommodating bowl.  Let them release their water for about 30 minutes.  Rinse with water and squeeze gently before lobbing into a fresh bowl. 

The radishes:  The co-stah
     Slice very thin, and toss them into the cuke bowl.

The sweet onion:  Best supporting actah
     Slice thinly and quarter.  Lob into the cuke and radish bowl.

The dressing:  The directah
     To taste, swirlinate some Greek yogurt with a tiny bit of half and half or milk to thin very slightly.  To that, add a bit of lemon juice, honey, fresh or dried dill, and freshly ground pepper. 

Serve well chilled.  This salad doesn't keep well, so plan to use it that day.
