# Expert Tips:

01 -
  • The crunch is absolutely addictive and makes eating vegetables feel like a treat
  • It comes together in under 15 minutes but looks and tastes like something from a restaurant
02 -
  • The salad actually tastes better after sitting for those 10 minutes, the vegetables soften slightly and absorb the dressing
  • If you plan to make this ahead, add the dressing right before serving or the vegetables will become soggy
03 -
  • A mandoline is your friend here if you have one, perfectly thin slices make all the difference in texture
  • Taste a radish slice before starting, if they are extremely spicy soak them in ice water for 10 minutes first
