Inspired by sunomono, a Japanese salad often made with sliced cucumber and daikon radish, this variation is a refreshing no-cook option to serve alongside grilled salmon or teriyaki-style chicken skewers.

This doesn't work. Maybe if the radish and cucumber were sliced like matchsticks but I doubt it. I love sunomono but this is an uninspired version.
