  • For the salad: 4 red radishes, halved and sliced thin

MORTON®
FINE SEA SALT

  1. Mix the ingredients for the dressing in a big salad bowl. Make sure to add  ½ teaspoon of Morton® Fine Sea Salt, which will help bring out the flavors of the chopped herbs.

  2. Toss in the radishes, cucumber, celery, red onion, peppers and radicchio until everything is well coated.

  3. Add the tomatoes, watercress, arugula, and mint and toss just enough to get everything evenly dressed. Toss a few times just before you serve.

 

*Morton® Fine Sea Salt crystals dissolve quickly in order to blend easily, which make it ideal for marinades, soups, sauces and dressings.
