  2. Wash radishes under cold running water, trim off the greens, and cut into thin slices, about 1/8 inch thick.
  3. Rinse scallions and slice the white and light green parts into thin rounds. Add chopped scallions to the bowl with cucumbers and radishes.
  4. Add cottage cheese to the bowl with cucumbers, radishes, and scallions, season with sea salt and black pepper, mixing gently.
  5. Serve your creamy cucumber-radish salad immediately after mixing for the best flavor and texture.
