Quick & Easy Cucumber Radish Salad

This keto salad is based on an old classic - creamy cucumber salad. What I love about it most is that it takes just a few minutes to prepare and uses a few simple ingredients.

Unlike the traditional recipe which includes sour cream, I made it dairy-free by using paleo mayonnaise and added sliced radishes for an extra crunch. I like to serve mine as a side with steak, barbecued fish, or crispy duck breast.
