Recipe: Home Restaurant Simple Radish Salad

SIMPLE RADISH SALAD

"We both lover the peppery taste of radishes. They come in many varieties, and in sizes from spring's cherry-sized bites to autumn's enormous daikons. All share a crispness and mustard flavor that wake up the appetite, good reason whey restaurant relish trays used to include radishes along with their celery, olives, and pickled vegetables. Here's a recipe that doesn't push radishes off the side of the plate, but keeps them front and center."

About 8 radishes, thinly sliced
1 small red onion, thinly sliced
2 tablespoons minced fresh chives
1 tablespoon red wine vinegar
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
Kosher salt
Freshly ground black pepper

Combine radishes and red onion in medium bowl.

In a small bowl, whisk together chives, vinegar, lemon juice, olive oil and salt and pepper to taste. Pour over radishes and onions; toss. Let stand 30 minutes before serving.
