Ingredients:

Serving

6 cups water
1 tsp sugar
4 large garlic cloves, crushed
1/4 tsp black peppercorns
3 tbsp plus 1/2 tsp kosher salt
1 lb kirby cucumbers
1/2 lb radishes, trimmed and quartered
1 cup loosely packed flat-leaf parsley leaves
1 tbsp vegetable oil

Directions:

Boil water, sugar, garlic, peppercorns, and 3 tablespoons salt in a 4-quart pot, uncovered, 10 minutes.
While brine is boiling, halve cucumbers lengthwise and cut crosswise into 1/3-inch-thick slices.
Remove brine from heat and add cucumbers and radishes. Let stand, uncovered, 10 minutes, then drain in a colander, discarding garlic and peppercorns. Transfer cucumbers and radishes to a bowl of ice and cold water to cool, then drain well in colander.
Toss cucumbers and radishes with parsley, oil, and remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt in a large bowl and chill, uncovered, about 20 minutes.
Cooks' note: Salad can be prepared 1 day ahead and chilled, covered.
