Watermelon Radish & Avocado Salad Recipe

I love crunchy, bitter watermelon radishes not only because they are gorgeous, but because they add crunch to any prepared salad. You can thin-slice it, dice it, or shred it. Today, we will dice them into small cute little cubes.

I like to dice all of the vegetables into the same size while making this salad. It will not only offer uniformity, but it will also allow you to obtain a small amount of each component in each mouthful.

Watermelon Radish	Aim for a medium-size radish. Peel the skin before giving it a small dice.
Avocado	I used a domestic avocado from Turkey, but if you can get your hands on a Hass avocado, I’d go for that.
Onions	Is going to add so much flavor. You may use red, white, or yellow onion.
Fresh herbs	Feel free to use cilantro or parsley or a little bit of both.
Carrots	It will add additional crunch and sweetness.
Cucumber	You’ll want to use Persian cucumbers because of their thin skin (no need to peel) and tiny edible seeds. If you can only find an American cucumber, simply peel and remove the inner seeds.
For the Dressing	The base is crafted with lemon, vinegar, honey, molasses, oregano, and buttery olive oil. Simple yet so tasty and fresh tasting!

The Secret to the Perfect Watermelon Radish Salad

This is the most crucial step. Getting a little bit of each ingredient into one generous bite is essential. Also, the bigger the pieces, the longer you’ll have to chew. 😬
Also, the dressing has a modest amount. Again, that’s to ensure that the salad doesn’t become too soggy and unpleasant.

Add the Avocado Right before Serving

Or else you will be left with many brown avocado pieces.

How Long Does this Salad Last?

Feel free to store this salad in a container with a lid for no longer than 12 hours. I find that the cucumbers can tend to be less crunchy then and the avocados will brown.
