Marinated Radish Salad



Dill, green onions, fresh red radishes: three ingredients that have a certain overpowering harshness to them if one is not careful with them. In my mind, an unlikely list of ingredients for the main flavors of a salad. However, as I discovered with the help of Simply in Season, after just a few hours of marinating (the recipe warns no more than four) all of the flavor is still there but none of the pungency.

For eight servings:

1. Combine eight large bunches of radishes (sliced, diced, or julienned), eight sliced green onions, & 1/4 cup chopped fresh dill (or one tbsp dill seed).

2. Stir together 1/2 cup olive oil, 1/4 cup lemon juice, one tsp sugar, one tsp Dijon mustard, salt, & pepper. Pour over radish mixture & toss.

3. Cover & refrigerate for at least two hours but no more than four.

It suggests to serve with a bit of shredded swiss sprinkled on top. I skipped this, however.
