Carrots! Celery! And radishes!
Oh my!
My mother-in-law just shared this recipe with me when we visited last weekend. I’ll admit, I was pretty skeptical when she described it to me and even when she was mixing it up. I like carrots enough. Celery is a hit or miss but radishes were on the ‘no thanks’ list, despite their beautiful coloring. Then I tried it and here I am now, singing its praises.
It’s fresh, colorful, healthy and scrum-diddly-umptious. The crunch is fabulous.
Pretty easy. Just equal amounts of chopped carrots, celery and radishes topped with a favorite dressing. And since the veggies are so darn pretty, here are the steps in pictures.
Gather up some carrots, celery and radishes and clean them up.
Cut down the celery and carrots into skinny strips.
Use a hand chopper to chop up the veggies and toss them together. Remember, equal amounts. Of course, you can chop them with a knife, the hand chopper is just easier.
Mix together. Aren’t they pretty?
Now, the whole veggie bowl can be mixed up if you are feeding a family or group. However, if you’d like to portion it out for single servings, scoop out some in a bowl and store the rest in the fridge for later. It’s also a great mix to top salads with.
In your bowl, add a small dollop of a favorite dressing. Not too much, just enough lightly coat it all. Mix in the dressing. Ranch, or as Love Bug calls it, ‘dippy’, is the winner here.
Yummo. It’s seriously delicious. Again, the crunch is so satisfying.
I hadn’t planned on taking a picture like this but I honestly devoured this salad in 1:14 minutes flat.
And then I loaded my bowl up a second time and chowed that down in 48 seconds. Beat my own record.
It’s good. And good for you.
A win-win.
Take care.
