This refreshing cucumber radish salad is inspired by Korean-style barbecue, which pairs heavier, smoky meat dishes with fresh and fermented ingredients in side dishes to aid digestion. According to chef Jiyeon Lee of Heirloom Market BBQ in Atlanta, this cucumber radish salad provides “crunchiness and a little acidic sweetness” to complement smoked brisket and other beef dishes.
