This salad grows on you. . .the flavors all do work together, but I think I would prefer it with a different dressing. Thanks for sharing!!! -
Very nice! I made half a batch. Because I used dried mint (admittedly, fresh would probably be better. Next time!), I put it in with the lemon juice-shallot-vinegar. I noticed olive oil in the directions, but not in the ingredients. I decided 1 Tablespoon sounded about right for a half-batch. Thanks! Reviewed for the April Veg*n Recipe Swap. -
My husband really bauked at the idea of radishes with cantaloupe. He was prepared to pick those radishes out, but guess what he really liked them with the cantaloupe. Very nice sald, nice change of pace. We had it with our veggie pizza. -
WOW, we really loved this! I didn't have any celery, but followed the recipe exactly with that exception. You might not think the ingredients fit together, but try it, you will be pleasantly surprised. Thanks for posting, ellie. -
This was terrific, refreshing and different.

I lost over 90 pounds on Weight Watchers and have maintained for over a year now -- so my cooking/eating habits have changed drastically following my weight loss and to keep it off!</p>
