Please, please, please, dear reader, next time you grab a bunch of radishes with healthy, vibrant-looking greens, give this salad a try! Or any salad! These greens are good for you and taste great!
Just make sure to dunk them a few times in cold water to clean them out thoroughly. This salad has a combination of sweet flavor (cranberries), pungency (onions), mellowness (chick peas) and bite (radish greens). A satisfying combination in itself!
INGREDIENTS:
- 1 or 2 bunches of radishes, cut off the greens and use for a salad. Keep the radishes for the next day and either saute in butter or stuff in sandwiches or eat as a snack.
- 1 cup (or more) of garbanzo beans, fully cooked.
- 1 large shallot, cut in rings (or any other type of onion)
- a handful of dried cranberries
DRESSING:
- 2 cloves of garlic, mashed
- 1/3 cup of raspberry vinegar or the juice of one lemon
- 2/3 cup olive oil
- dash of salt, pepper
- After washing the radish greens and drying them, place them in a bowl along with the other ingredients; prepare the dressing, whisk well and pour one tablespoon at a time over the salad and toss. Use the leftover dressing for another salad.
NOTE: Radish greens are loaded with Vitamin C, calcium, protein and cancer-protective nutrients.

I want to ask you what is the name of the bread book you mentioned, sound very interesting for me.
Arlette, this is a very old book I picked up at an antique mall. I will take pics and show you all the breads if you want, it is very interesting! Are you on Facebook?
We don’t see the green parts of radishes at bazaar, but I remember that mom used to put them in salads as we had radishes in our small garden. And I would definitely squeeze lemon on this green salad. Thanks for reminding this salad from my childhood.
