Turp Salatsi (Radish Salad)
"I have been intrigued by Turkish cuisine for going on a good four years now-no, actually longer. Here's a delightful summer salad and very quick to make, too! Use organic garden fresh radishes if possible and even better a variety (of). Don't use old, yucky supermarket radishes. From turkishcookbook.com"

Really great flavor combinations. I agree that you really only need a tiny pinch of salt. I got pretty red radishes from a local farm market. I know simplicity is the idea of this salad, but I would really like to put some sliced sweet onions in this next time. Also, I think I'd prefer the flat-leaf parsley instead of the curley variety. Thanx for posting this! -
