Courgette and radish salad

If you need a quick an easy side dish that goes well with  grilled/fried meat and fish the recipe of this courgette and radish salad could come handy. It’s ready under ten minutes and ideal for parties and picnics too. I normally serve it with grilled koftas, shish kebab or Greek meatballs (keftedes) tacked in a grilled pita bread.
