This recipe for cucumber and radish salad has been handed down through generations of our family. It is said to have originated with our great-grandmother, who lived in a small village in the countryside. She was known for her love of gardening, and she would often grow cucumbers and radishes in her garden. One day, she decided to experiment with a new recipe, and she created this salad. It was an immediate hit with her family, and it has been a staple at our family gatherings ever since.
