I was just looking for a refreshing salad and I just happened to have some radishes in the fridge. This went perfectly with my turkey burgers! Thanks!

This is delicious. I have made it twice since I read this post and each time there are never any left overs.

This weekend at the farmer’s market I picked up some purple carrots and added them in with the standard orange carrots for a punch of color.

DELISH! I love it! How refreshing and lovely!

I can’t wait to eat it for lunch tomorrow (and we haven’t even had it yet for dinner!)

Thanks for another great recipe, and more importantly, teaching me how to combine flavors & improvise in the kitchen. It’s recipes like this, and the chicken, tomato, & white bean stew, that really give me a base for creative pantry cooking!

BRAVO! (and can you believe we’re supposed to get SNOW tomorrow?!?!?! who asked for THAT?)

Made it, Loved it, Want more!

I used rainbow carrots from Trader Joe’s so the salad became extra colorful. How do you come up with these combinations??

I just bought a mandoline too. This would be another great thing to test it out with! I neeeed some crunch myself. Vegetable goodness.

This recipe is a keeper. Made it last night to accompany a four cheese lasagna (white lasagna). The yin and yang of the creamy and the crunch was perfect.

BTW Target had a madoline for 8.99. It really made the carrots and radishes perfect.

I made an off-the-cuff version of this salad last night for dinner, and it was great! It’s rare that I run out and buy the ingredients the day that I meet a new recipe, but this one did it for me. It’s a keeper! Thanks for sharing!

KatieJ: Thanks!

Kate: Nope, nothing. And, yes, cabbage! Though cabbage gets braised into softness too …

rachel: Why thank you! And, living so close to a bakery sounds dangerous (and delicious) indeed.

Jennifer: Thank you!

Beth: Wow! That was fast! Thanks for the feedback, so glad to hear you liked it.

Sarah: Mine isn’t either, but he liked this salad anyway (particularly in tacos). The carrots far outnumber the radishes, so maybe he won’t notice? : )

sue bette: Thanks! And, you’re right, it was!

long island: Thanks! I hope you do try it.

Farmer Gal: It’s time for crunch, right? Enough is enough.

Lisa: Wow, more nearly instant feedback! I’m so glad it worked out well for you. And hooray for slicing by hand!

Thanks for this! I bought radishes, scallions and limes on Sunday night and was looking for just the right thing. I had everything else except the cilantro (I used dried). It made a great accompaniment to dinner last night. Per your advice, I patiently chopped up everything very thin, thinking all the time, “I am patient, I am patient.” Thanks so much!
