Cucumber Radish Salad!
Nothing says spring to me quite like radishes do. They’re always the first to pop up in our garden at home, signaling the tasty beginning of the bountiful harvest ahead.
Radishes could be the perfect Spring Cleanse food. Known for cleansing the liver, radishes help improve digestion and prevent constipation. Radishes are also a great source of vitamin C, fiber and potassium.
Enjoy this crunchy, creamy salad chilled on a hot afternoon. It’s hydrating, fresh and delicious!
