A bowl full of fresh vegetables topped with a flavourful dressing is very pleasing to the eyes, a delight for the palate and nutritious for the body.

This quick and casual vegetable salad, made with crisp cucumber, fresh radishes, and tangy cherry tomatoes, is light and refreshing.

It can be served with lunch or dinner along with meat dishes, bread and soup varieties.

It tastes good when you serve it immediately after you prepare it. If you like it cold, chop the vegetables and refrigerate them in separate containers for a few hours before you serve. Mix them up and serve immediately.

In this recipe, I have mixed some cucumber pieces, radishes, and cherry tomatoes and seasoned them with a simple and tasty dressing.

I have added chili flakes to give a bit of spiciness to the salad.
