Smashed Cucumbers and Radishes in Yogurt Sauce

Directions

1. 1.

   Combine garlic and lemon juice in a small bowl and let sit 5 minutes.

2. 2.

   Whisk yogurt, oil, and sugar in a large bowl; season with salt and pepper. Whisk in garlic mixture.

3. 3.

   Using a rolling pin, meat mallet, or the flat side of a chef’s knife, lightly whack cucumbers and radishes so they begin to split apart (but not so forcefully that you smash them to smithereens). Tear cucumbers and radishes into bite-size pieces with your hands and fold into yogurt mixture. Season salad with more salt and lots and lots of pepper.

4. 4.

   Transfer salad to an airtight container; cover and chill at least 2 hours. Shake to combine before serving.

5. 5.

   Salad can be made 3 days ahead. Keep chilled.
