Step 1

Gently—but thoroughly—toss tomatoes, cucumbers, scallion whites, 1 tsp. salt, and 4–5 good turns of pepper in a medium bowl to combine. Chill until ready to use, at least 30 minutes.

Step 2

Meanwhile, season radishes with ½ tsp. salt in a medium bowl, then toss with your hands to combine, squeezing the radishes until they get good and juicy. Add cottage cheese and 1 Tbsp. vinegar and stir to combine; season to taste with salt. Chill until ready to use.

Step 3

Spread cottage cheese vinaigrette on a platter. Pour off accumulated liquid from cucumber-tomato mixture. (Reserve the liquid if you like; it’s great over ice with or without a shot of vodka.) Add 2 Tbsp. oil and remaining 2 Tbsp. vinegar to salad and toss gently to combine.

Step 4

Spoon salad over vinaigrette, drizzle with oil, and garnish with scallion greens and a few turns of pepper.
