Lakeside Organic Gardens Watermelon Radish and Kale Salad

Wonderfully light and flavorful with a nice zingy finish. Recipe inspired by Cheryl Wixson.

Ingredients

• 2 medium Lakeside Organic Gardens Watermelon Radishes
• 1/2 cup vinegar
• 1/4 cup sugar
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 bunch Lakeside Organic Gardens Kale
• 2 tablespoons oil
• 1 teaspoon lemon juice
• 1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh herbs, parsley, rosemary, thyme, mint
• Salt, to taste
• Ground Black Pepper, to taste
• 1/4 cup sesame, sunflower or pumpkin seeds, toasted

Directions

Scrub the Lakeside Organic Gardens Watermelon Radishes. Thinly slice.

In a medium bowl, combine first 4 ingredients. Add the radishes, making sure that the slices are well coated. Set aside and let marinate for 30 minutes or up to 24 hours refrigerated.

Wash the Lakeside Organic Gardens Kale and cut off the tough stems. Slice the kale chiffonade (into 1/4 inch ribbons). In a large bowl, whisk together the oil, lemon juice and fresh herbs. Season to taste with sea salt and fresh pepper. Add the kale to the bowl and mix with your hands until the leaves are well coated and start to soften.

To serve the salad, drain the radishes and line a platter with some of the radish slices, pile up the kale over. Top with more radishes. Finally, sprinkle with the toasted seeds. Enjoy.
