This recipe looks great. I never knew you could use radish leaves either because I was thinking they were sort of spiny and thorny. Radishes are crunchy and this set up looks perfect for something different. My daughter just called me to say she had some huge cucumbers from her garden coming my way(last weekend I made pickles from her first batch). Guess I will be searching out for some nice radishes to go with them and make this salad this coming weekend.
Can’t wait to try this recipe. I didn’t know radish greens were edible either. And, thank you so much for including a “print” button on the recipe pages.
