Name: Radish Salad
Total time: 20 min
Ingredients: About 12 radishes, thinly sliced; 1 tablespoon salt; 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper; 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice; 1 tablespoon orange juice; Ground Urfa or other mild chilies to taste (optional); 2 tablespoons chopped mint or cilantro

Radish salad is something you see in places around the world (in the last couple of years, I have been served it in similar guises in both Mexico and Turkey), but almost never in this country. Salting the radishes first reduces their harshness while accenting their crispness. At that point, they can be dressed with a traditional vinaigrette or the more tropical (and oil-less) version here. The only trick is to slice the radishes thinly. For this, a mandoline is best.
