Radish Salad with Creamy Goat Cheese & Mint Dressing

This is the time of year when radishes are plentiful in my northwest Montana garden.  We like having them around so we succession plant them almost every 2 weeks throughout our short growing season.  They’re a great snack, we both like just munching on them with a touch of a salt but I like to get creative every now and then too.  Over the weekend, I pulled out my copy of The Flavor Bible and learned that mint and radishes were considered a very tasty combination.  That made sense to me and I happen to have plenty of mint along with my radishes.  Wanting to eat up what we had on hand and keep it all very much in season, I came up with this Radish Salad with Creamy Goat Cheese & Mint Dressing.  The dressing is so tasty I could almost eat it by the spoonful.

Ingredients

• 8 Cups Baby Salad Greens
• 4 Cups Radishes, thinly sliced
• 4 ounces Goat Cheese, crumbled
• 1 Tablespoon Milk
• 1 teaspoon Honey
• 1 teaspoon White Wine Vinegar
• 2 Tablespoons Olive Oil
• 1 Tablespoon Mint, minced
• Salt & Pepper to taste

Instructions

1. Divide the greens and radishes between 4 serving bowls.
2. Whisk together the goat cheese, milk, honey, vinegar, olive oil, mint, salt, and pepper until smooth. If you'd like a thinner dressing add a little more milk or some warm water. Drizzle over the salads and serve with extra dressing.

Notes: Keep the dressing thick and use as dip for radish and carrot strips.  Use mint infused honey to kick up the mint flavor even more.
