Chef Jess's Tip
For a beautiful presentation, use a mandoline to create delicate, even slices of cucumber and radish. The mild, creamy hummus balances the peppery bite of the China Rose Radish Microgreens, while fresh lemon brings everything together.

Cucumber Salad
with Hummus & China Rose Radish Microgreens
Serves 4 | Prep Time: 15 minutes | No cooking required
A fresh, vibrant salad featuring crisp cucumber, peppery radish microgreens, creamy hummus, and a bright lemon and olive oil dressing. Simple ingredients brought together for a beautiful, flavourful dish.
Ingredients
-
1 large English cucumber
-
¼ small red onion, thinly sliced
-
6 radishes, thinly sliced
-
1 lemon, juiced (approximately 2 tbsp)
-
3 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
-
½ tsp sea salt, or to taste
-
¼ tsp freshly cracked black pepper
-
1 cup hummus
-
20 g China Rose Radish Microgreens
Directions
1. Prepare the vegetables. Thinly slice the cucumber and radishes using a sharp knife or mandoline. Slice the red onion as finely as possible.
2. Make the dressing. In a small bowl, whisk together the fresh lemon juice, extra virgin olive oil, salt, and black pepper.
3. Dress the salad. Gently toss the cucumber, radishes, and red onion with enough dressing to lightly coat. Reserve a little dressing for finishing.
4. Plate the salad. Spread approximately ¼ cup of hummus onto each of four plates, creating a smooth swoosh with the back of a spoon. Arrange the dressed vegetables over and alongside the hummus.
5. Finish and serve. Top each salad with a generous pinch of China Rose Radish Microgreens. Drizzle with the remaining dressing and finish with freshly cracked pepper.
