Hazelnut Free Ginger-Lime Radish & Cucumber Salad
Crisp radishes and cool cucumber come together in a salad that's bright, refreshing, and packed with bold flavor from every angle. The dressing is where the magic happens — fresh lime juice, grated ginger, a touch of honey, and a whisper of turmeric create something that feels vibrant and a little unexpected. Coconut aminos bring a subtle savory depth without any soy, and the whole thing comes together with a quick whisk and a few minutes of hands-off time while the vegetables soften just slightly in salt. Scallion greens and cilantro add freshness throughout, and a handful of torn mint at the end lifts the whole bowl. Tree nut allergies can make dressings and salad kits a minefield, since hazelnuts and other nuts sneak into vinaigrettes and pre-packaged mixes more often than you'd expect — but every ingredient here is straightforward and easy to verify. This one is best served immediately so the vegetables stay crisp and the dressing stays punchy, making it a perfect last-minute side for grilled proteins or a light lunch on its own.
