Watermelon Radish & Celery Salad with Toasted Walnuts

Watermelon Radish & Celery Salad with Toasted Walnuts

I don’t know how heavily color factors into how much I love watermelon radishes. They show up mid-winter when bright color stands out even more but they are also sweet, crunchy and not as sharp as some radishes.

Serves 2-3

1 medium watermelon radish, peeled, quartered and thinly sliced crosswise (about 1 1/2 – 2 cups)

1-2 stalks celery, ideally with leaves attached, thinly sliced crosswise

2 tablespoons thinly sliced red onion (or any onion)

1/3 cup toasted walnuts, crumbled or coarsely chopped

1 tablespoons rice vinegar

Just a little lemon juice (optional, for a slightly brighter salad)

Pinch of sugar (optional)

1 tablespoon olive oil

Salt and pepper, to taste

Toss all ingredients in a serving bowl. Taste and adjust seasoning. Serve immediately.
