The garden was producing baby greens, green onions, radishes, and herbs. I had cherry tomatoes and cucumbers from elsewhere. That’s how this salad was born. 🙂

This post is part of the Using the Garden Veggies blog hop, hosted by Merissa at Little House Living. Each week through July and August, one participating blogger will feature a garden veggie. As you probably guessed, my veggie is the crisp and spicy radish. 🙂 Keep an eye out on our Facebook page throughout the summer for more garden fresh recipes.

This looks so good! In a few months it will be cool enough to plant radishes again. Hopefully the heat will have been kind to the tomatoes and the cucumbers so I can give this a try. I think we’d really like it.
Right now we’ve been eating a lot of marinated pole bean salads. Sometimes I toss them with a vinagrette, feta, and whatever herbs I happen to have on hand.
In the middle of summer, I like adding raw coarsely grated young zucchini to our salads. I enjoy their almost creamy touch.
Carole — I love that idea! Thank you for sharing. 🙂
