   I’m sure you knew I would respond with a recipe. Did you get my last newsletter? While there were no radishes, it did involve a good recipe involving vegetables. In fact, radish sprouts are pretty good.

   Here’s my recipe that includes radishes:

   Grape and Feta Salad

   Surprise your friends with this easy, sweet and healthy salad! Lettuces, radishes, carrots and broccoli make a colorful and vitamin packed salad that is flavored with grapes and feta cheese.

   Prep Time
   30 min
   Ready In:
   30 Min

   Servings
   8

   Ingredients

   1 head iceberg – rinsed, dried and torn into bite sized pieces
   1 head leaf lettuce – rinsed, dried and torn into bite-size pieces
   2 carrots, sliced
   8 ounces broccoli florets
   5 radishes, chopped
   3 roma (plum) tomatoes, diced
   1 pound red seedless grapes
   1 cup chopped almonds
   1 5/8 cups crumbled feta cheese
