Easy Summer Radish Salad Recipes

I found this recipe online at allrecipes.com and knew I had to try it. Now, I am sharing it with you. Radishes are often used in the united states as garnish or in salads. I love that this recipe gives them a place on center stage. I am sure I will be making this one a lot over the summer months. ♥

********************************************

The inspiration for this recipe was found at allrecipe.com. I change the shallot in the original recipe to red onion because I prefer them and added garlic. You could also substitute a bunching green onion, for the shallot. I really enjoyed how it came out.
