High Fructose Corn Syrup Free Ginger-Lime Radish & Cucumber Salad
Crisp, bright, and loaded with bold flavor, this radish and cucumber salad is the kind of dish that wakes up your whole palate. The dressing is where the magic happens — fresh lime juice, grated ginger, a touch of honey, and coconut aminos come together into something tangy, a little earthy, and completely addictive. Coconut aminos is the key swap here, standing in for conventional soy sauce or bottled dressings that often sneak in unwanted sweeteners. Everything in this recipe is whole and straightforward, so you know exactly what you're eating without having to decode a label. A quick salt-and-rest step draws out excess moisture from the radishes and cucumber, which means the dressing clings beautifully rather than pooling at the bottom of the bowl. Scallion greens, cilantro, and optional torn mint keep things fresh and herbaceous all the way to the last bite. It comes together fast and is best served immediately, making it a perfect last-minute side for grilled proteins or a light lunch on its own.
