Subdeacon Joe Posted January 2, 2017 Share Posted January 2, 2017 From Weight Watchers: Marinated Cucumber and Melon Salad Recipe Details Ingredients 1 medium English cucumber(s), thinly sliced 1 1/2 cup(s) fresh radish(es), thinly sliced 1/4 medium honeydew melon, cut into thin slices 1/2 cup(s) mint leaves, fresh, cut into thin ribbons 1/4 cup(s) fresh lemon juice 1 Tbsp sugarInstructions 1.Combine all ingredients in a medium mixing bowl; chill for at least 2 hours. Yields about 1/2 cup per serving. I set my mandolin to 2mm which was about right for the radishes, but too thin for the melon and cucumber, next time I'll go to 4mm for those. I had it along with some mildly spicy lamb sausage tonight. Great pairing. This is going to become a regular for us, especially once the weather turns warm. Very refreshing.

Marshal Mo Hare, SASS #45984 Posted January 2, 2017 Share Posted January 2, 2017 That's a lot of radishes. Do your radishes have a bite?? I think I would soak them in 50% vinegar/water solution for 10 minutes to reduce the bite Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think I would soak them in 50% vinegar/water solution for 10 minutes to reduce the bite I thought the same thing, but went (pretty much) by the recipe. No, they don't have a bite. I think the acid from the lemon juice as well as the little bit of sugar, tames them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
