Romaine and Radish Salad With Buttermilk Lemon Dressing image

Those of you who are getting loads of lettuce in your C.S.A. boxes may be tiring of salads, but this simple combination will never get old for me. Radishes look and taste beautiful against a romaine backdrop, and the creamy dressing is especially complementary. Radishes are rich in folic acid, vitamin C and anthocyanins, phytonutrients that are believed to have antioxidant properties.

Overall, I thought this salad was just okay. It wasn't bad, but it wasn't anything special either.

This salad was a disappointment. The radishes were too tough and the dressing was too watery.

I found this salad to be a bit bland. I would add some more spices or herbs to the dressing next time.

This salad was a bit too tangy for my taste. I would recommend using less lemon juice in the dressing.

I'm not a big fan of radishes, but I loved them in this salad. The dressing really mellowed out their flavor.

This salad was a refreshing change from the usual. The buttermilk-lemon dressing was light and tangy, and the radishes added a nice peppery bite. I'll definitely be making this again.
