Watermelon Radish Salad with Avocado Vinaigrette

While I don't notice a huge difference in taste between your standard grocery store radish and these, the watermelon radish is radiant enough to never pass up. This radish is large, the size of a naval orange and tastes best when sliced paper thin using your sharpest knife, a mandolin or even a vegetable peeler. This salad is simple to prepare and tastes as fresh as it looks beautiful.

Thinly sliced watermelon radish with avocado, shallot, satsuma mandarins, cilantro leaves and sea salt.
