Ingredients

Salad Ingredients

  • 2 pounds watermelon radishes (about 2 large or 3 medium, thinly sliced)
  • 1 English cucumber (thinly sliced)
  • 1 avocado (diced)
  • 1/4 cup crumbled feta cheese
  • 2 scallions (thinly sliced)
  • 2 tablespoons chopped parsley

  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • Juice of 1 lemon

  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Salad: In a large bowl, combine the thinly sliced watermelon radishes, cucumbers, diced avocado, crumbled feta, sliced scallions, and chopped parsley, gently tossing to mix the ingredients evenly.
  2. Make the Vinaigrette: In a small bowl, whisk together the minced garlic, Dijon mustard, fresh lemon juice, olive oil, kosher salt, and black pepper until the dressing is well emulsified and smooth.
  3. Toss and Serve: Drizzle the vinaigrette over the salad mixture and gently toss to coat all the ingredients evenly. Serve immediately to enjoy the fresh crisp textures and flavors.

Notes

  • For best flavor, use fresh and crisp watermelon radishes and cucumbers.
  • To prevent avocado browning, toss it with the salad just before serving.
  • Feel free to adjust the amount of lemon juice or mustard in the vinaigrette to taste.
  • This salad pairs wonderfully with grilled chicken or fish as a light accompaniment.
