Summary
What’s great about this dish is that the longer you let it sit (preferably overnight) the more intense the flavor becomes. That’s the essence of marinating! While we suggest cucumber, radish, and asparagus, you can add just about any vegetables you have on hand or that you’re growing in your garden. Enjoy this as a snack or side salad — with each flavorful bite you’re also getting a fork-full of nutrition!
