This summery chickpea, fennel, and radish salad pops with flavor. The sweetness of shredded carrots and the anise-like flavor of the fennel complement the peppery radishes while aromatic fresh herbs up the ante all around. Top with walnuts and a drizzle of lemony Dijon dressing. This company-worthy salad is perfect for a potluck or serving at your next grill-out.
Tips
Radish ribbon variation: To make this salad with radish ribbons, look for long varieties, such as scarlet or fire and ice radishes. Using a vegetable peeler, shave long, thin ribbons from radishes, turning radishes to make even cuts. When you can’t shave off any more, thinly slice remaining radishes.
