For the best flavor, allow the salad to marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before serving. This allows the flavors to meld together beautifully. If you don't have a mandolin, use a sharp knife to carefully slice the cucumbers, radishes, and onion as thinly as possible. Feel free to adjust the amount of sugar and salt in the dressing to suit your personal taste.
