Simple Supper: Citrus,Berry & Radish Salad with Cilantro-Lime Vinaigrette

Once my dad described radishes as tasting "just like earth." That description has always stuck with me -- they really do taste like earth! Tossed with strawberries & citrus the earthy-spicy flavor mellows leaving a nice mild bite. Earlier this week Ray & I munched on this salad with our mole chicken. It's perfect for two but could easily be filled out for a bigger crowd - just add a bit more of everything & you're set. A bright, fresh, colorful side or supper in under 10 minutes -- can't beat that!
