another great way to eat asparagus!
This is a great recipe if you are looking for different ways to eat asparagus. I'm used to steaming or boiling, sauteing them in garlic, butter but it's always so bland.
I love radishes but my bf hates them. We had a bunch in the fridge and rather than throwing them up, I decided to make this recipe. My BF LOVED it. Loved it so much that he went for seconds! This is such a simple yet low calorie side dish. Not only could you eat it as a side, you can eat it as a mid morning or afternoon snack in order to get your veggie intake for the day.
Pros: Really easy to make

Way better than expected
I hate radishes. Hate is a strong word, I'm well aware. I decided to give this recipe a try anyway, and whoa, I'm glad I did! It's a scrumptious and satisfying salad. I'm going to take it to potlucks and force people to try it!
Pros: flavorful, fresh, unexpected
Cons: generally unappealing ingredients

Great summer side dish. Nice dish to make ahead of time and allow the flavors to blend together.
