Why You’ll Love Watermelon Radish Salad
Apart from being absolutely gorgeous, this salad is sooo fresh, simple and delicious! I’ll admit… what drew me to watermelon radish was the color BUT I love the taste now.

The mint adds even more freshness to this salad, and complements the dressing extremely well. You will be obsessed… trust me!
