CUCUMBER AND RADISH SALAD WITH YOGURT AND CUMIN



Cucumber and Radish Salad With Yogurt and Cumin image

This is based on a recipe from Mark Peel's "New Classic Family Dinners." Slice the cucumbers and radishes as thin as you can. I use an inexpensive plastic Japanese mandolin for this. (Make sure to use the guard so you don't cut your fingertips!) I eat this as a salad and also as a delicious bruschetta or crostini topping.

4 boneless trout fillets (1 pound total), patted dry
Salt and pepper
